Appomattox.

The first Civil War battle in the Eastern US was fought on his farm. He was so distressed about the effect it had on his family that he sold his farm and bought a farm in a quiet out of the way location called Appomattox. By chance when Generals Lee and Grant met to sign the articles of surrender they met at his house. The Civil War started and ended in the same place, on Wilbur McClain's property.
