Review:

Grant's Headquarters at City Point is a museum located at Appomattox Manor in Hopewell, Virginia. It is part of the Petersburg National Battlefield Park and is operated by the National Park Service. During the last years of the American Civil War, from the port there, the City Point Railroad used City Point, a port on the James River, to supply the Union forces during the Siege of Petersburg. The capture of Petersburg and its railroads was crucial to the fall of the Confederate capital Richmond, leading to the end of the war a week later. The museum includes Grant's headquarters and the original plantation house with various outbuildings. Visitors can see the rooms in the plantation house furnished as they were during the Grant’s stay, an introductory video of the historic events, a diorama, and a bookshop.
