Reviews of Grant's Headquarters - City Point (Park)

Myra Woods

The site is very interesting, and poignant because Lincoln visited a week before his assassination

Susan Lamb

Interesting display

James Powell

It's history and relaxing great for walking and picnics.

This place is a wonderful exploration of the final months of the Civil War. Grant's headquarters were here at that time and the views are essentially the ones he had. Scenically it is a panorama of the James and Appomattox rivers. I highly recommend a trip to this underappreciated Civil War site.

Great place to hang out and take in history. Just down the hill at Old City Point Waterfront Park you can relax, read a book or take the kids to enjoy the serenity. Located at the convergence of the Appomattox and James Rivers.

Cedrico De'ano

It's a beautiful day

Ed Houser

Park is not well kept, extremely tall grass around the water and lots of trash and debris.

This and several other places nearby are actually one complex with one parking lot. access to the river walk is about a block or two away on foot or by car.

Paul Martin

Great history behind the house. Wonderful view of the river from atop a hill. Amazing place to take pictures and family pictures.

Kelly Lipford

This is the second time we've had our family pictures done here and it's absolutely beautiful

Jeffrey Ortz

Great little museum. Take a quick stop to see some very important history.

Very well maintained with an onsite NPS Ranger even during winter. Look for the live American Bald Eagles. They gave me "goosebumps" when their significance and presence at such an historically rich site was observed

Robert Fisher

Excellent history!

Pam Lewis

Family time walks are great way to check out the history

Debora Pecorelli

Great place to understand better te US history

Myra Smallwood

Our visit was a day trip with girl scouts. It was a very interesting tour. The park ranger was very informed of the house & grounds as well as the war as it pertained to our area. He was good with the girls as well (they ranged in ages 6-11) The tour of the house was very nice & the grounds are beautiful. We had a picnic lunch on the porch & enjoyed the beautiful view of the river.

Richard Baker

NPS historical site a part of the Petersburg Battlefield. Nice visit. Excellent Ranger. Good visit to ger overview of events surrounding the battle. Like many NPS sites now days, needs funding and some TLC.

Lots of history, beautiful view.

James Carrington

Very nice guided tour of the Appoattox manor, by the US National Park service guide

Aaron Merck

With all the high-priced museums in the area, this great facility is free and gives a real sense of what life was like immediately before the end of the Civil War. Definitely recommend.

Brian

First time visiting and this place was nice! Good place to take kids for fishing, nature walks, bike rides, etc. Definitely will be going back soon!

Charles Vtipilson
