Wilmer Mclean was a farmer during the Civil War. His farm was the scene of the Battle of Bull Run, one of the first actions in the war. To protect his family from danger, Mclean moved his family to Appomatax, VA. When the war was ending, Mclean's parlor in the Village of Appomatax Courthouse, VA was used for the signing. Thus, the war began and ended on Mclean's property.
