Appomattox Court House > Village of Appomattox Court House
The Peers House is on the northeast side of the village at the intersection of the Richmond-Lynchburg Stage Road and Prince Edward Court House Road. George Peers was clerk of the Appomattox County Court for 40 years. The house, which dates to the early 1850’s, is used as a residence for park employees and is not open to the public.
The final shots by the artillery of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia were fired from the Peer’s yard, marked by an artillery piece and the Final Combat wayside marker and “Last shot from the artillery” sign.
