My kids & I LOVE going to all the special events at Bennett Place! It's the site of the largest troop surrender of the US Civil War and you can tell the employees, docent volunteers and reenactors love sharing history with their visitors. It's not a battlefield like many historic Civil War sites, it's actually a farm where the Generals met to negotiate the end of the war and get ready to send the boys home!
The Unity Monument is made of materials from all over the country, intentionally representing national solidarity. One pillar faces South and the other faces North, both pillars being part of the same monument.
There's a wonderful museum to explore, an auditorium that plays historic documentaries, a nature trail through the woods and a gift shop.
I highly recommend Bennett Place to anyone even remotely interested in history or if you just want to get the kids out to a fun event!
