I really enjoy taking my 2 y/o niece to this library. It's a small library, so they don't have as…read moremany books, of course, but I love the atmosphere. They have a great area for kids with several types of toys and a smaller table for them. We've never taken advantage of the service but they also have iPad's available for kids with educational programs! Lastly, the librarians are so helpful and kind!!! I never feel stupid when asking questions! Lately, I stopped in because our printer wasn't working and they helped explain how to print photos from the PC's they have available. I did that for a nominal fee and was VERY impressed by the quality! I just cannot say enough good things about this little library! HINT: Just be prepared for the kids wanting to check out the church playground, which is essentially in the library's backyard. :-)

I love the library at SML! There is plenty of parking. The surrounding area is beautiful. There are…read morecomfy places to sit. If you don't have a laptop or other device, you can sit at one of the library computers. There are used book/movie sales, activities and classes (photography, computers, internet safety, etc). When it isn't crowded (which is frequently) you can stay longer at a computer. There are lots of activities (and toys) for kids. When the weather is warmer, it is fun to go across the street and grab ice cream or pizza.

The resources are extensive and well arranged but the staff leaves much to be desired. Some of the staff seemed to act as if I were disturbing their relaxation by asking to check out a book.

Similar layout concept as Monticello but on a smaller scale. It is a beautiful area and the house is very interesting. The grounds around the house have not been maintained well which is unfortunate. The garden walls are collapsing and several dead trees/plants. However, I know that this is a foundation and funding can be an issue. They also put on plays on the south lawn at various times which would be a fun event to attend. There is also a new looking walking trail on the entrance drive in and it had a lot of people there on the morning that we visited.

Nice piece of property in the Forest area of VA, this was Jefferson's summer home. Considering it is a bit of a task to get to in 2015, it must have really sucked to make the trek on horseback way back in the day. Worth a visit if in the area to at least get a glimpse into how they lived 200 years ago - right down to the functional outhouses. They really lived pretty well back then - I guess if you had the money. There are guided tours for a donation that gets you in the main house. I'm not sure on the paid tour if they point out where ole T.J. was boinking Sally Hemmings... You can walk the grounds for free. A nice day out for the family.

The Battle sites is what I first went to view and yeah it hits you hard at all of the losses we had. Then I went to the Appomattox Court House and toured the grounds. Amazing place to take your kids there and to hear all of the History that we don't want to lose. To me, it was an Honor to walk where Victory for our Soldiers and our Country. I would for sure drive another 15 hours from Louisiana to go and Tour the grounds again.

The Appomattox Court House NHP is a fraud! Ok here me out. I am somewhat of a history nerd but…read morethink broad strokes not necessarily on a micro level. Anyway, when I arrived, I went into the visitor's center like one always should when visiting a National Park. One of the Park Rangers started telling me about the property. "Currently you are standing in the Appomattox Court House......absolutely nothing happened in here! The surrender was just a football field's length away at the McLean House." What!? Why is it named after the courthouse then? Anyway, all jokes aside the place is great. As stated, the visitor's center is located inside the old courthouse and has the standard gift shop, museum, and movie theatre. Outside there are several buildings that include a bookstore, a Tavern, The Mclean House and several others. The Mclean House was actually torn down at one point and then rebuilt. The house is set up to look like it did then when Lee surrendered to Grant. While the Mclean house is the main attraction to the park, there are plenty of battlefields, markers and hiking trails around to explore. So why only 4 stars, well name it the Mclean House National Historic Park and I will give it another star.
