Bennett Place

Bennett Place, located in Carrboro, NC, is a historic site that holds great significance in American history. Known as the site where the Civil War effectively ended, it is a popular destination for tourists and visitors interested in learning about this pivotal moment in our nation's past.

On April 26, 1865, Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered to Union General William T. Sherman at Bennett Place, thus ending the largest and most destructive war in American history. The Bennett family's simple farmhouse, which still stands today, served as the backdrop for the surrender negotiations.

They can also tour the surrounding grounds, which include a farm and reconstructed earthworks. For history enthusiasts, this is a must-visit site to gain a better understanding of the events that led to the end of the Civil War and its impact on American society.
