Abstract:

On April 16, 1865, General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered at Bennett Place. Now a state historical park and museum, all of the main buildings at Bennett Place have been restored, and plans for a visitor's center are underway. The surrender documents are on display as are pictures of Atlanta after it was burned.
