The initial engagement on July 21, 1861 of what would become the First Battle of Bull Run (First Manassas) took place on McLean's farm in Manassas, Virginia. Union Army artillery fired at McLean's house, which was being used as a headquarters for Confederate Brigadier General P. G. T. Beauregard, and a cannonball dropped through the kitchen fireplace.

McLean was a retired major in the Virginia militia, but at 47, he was too old to return to active duty at the outbreak of the Civil War. In the spring of 1863, he and his family moved about 120 miles south to Appomattox County, Virginia, near a dusty, crossroads community called Appomattox Court House.

On April 9, 1865, the war revisited McLean. Confederate General Robert E. Lee was about to surrender to Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant. He sent a messenger to Appomattox Court House to find a place to meet. On April 8, 1865, the messenger knocked on McLean's door and requested the use of his home, to which McLean reluctantly agreed. Lee surrendered to Grant in the parlor of McLean's house, effectively ending the Civil War. Later, McLean is supposed to have said "The war began in my front yard and ended in my front parlor."

Residence Inn by Marriott Lynchburg

5/5 Excellent

"The only thing that I would request for next time is no polyester comforters or blankets. I'm allergic. Other than that we had a great time!"

5/5 Excellent

"Staff was great, however this is the second time that I have paid for my stay, days in advance on Expedia and was also charged by La Quinta on site. Now I have additional charges on my card and have to wait several business days to “check” if the funds were reimbursed to my account. Why does this continue to occur??? Just unnecessary red tape!!!!"
