| Bennett Place - Durham, North Carolina |
Home of James and Nancy Bennett, simple farmers, their home
served as the site of the surrender negotiations between Major General
William T. Sherman and General Joseph E. Johnston April 17, 18, and 26,
1865. It was the largest surrender of the Civil War officially
ending the fighting in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North
Carolina.
We visited Bennett Place while staying with Ben and Rebecca Joyner in July 2009. Their house is about 10 minutes away from the Bennett Place State Historic Site.
