		<description><![CDATA[There is one house in the U.S. that was damaged by fire during a bombardment by a British fleet led by Benedict Arnold during the Revolutionary War. That same house was considered the Union army's "Pentagon" during the American Civil War when General Grant used it for his headquarters. This is the oldest estate in America ever owned by the same family, as it was established in 1635 when King Charles I granted seventeen acres to Capt. Francis Eppes. Known as Appomattox Manor, this house and property were in danger of sliding into ruin in 1968.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following the Civil War, German born artist George Leo Frankenstein traveled over 3000 miles painting landscapes of the wars most famous sites "before any change in their features had been made." Though a German immigrant, Frankenstein felt keenly its importance to the future of his adopted country. While at Appomattox, Frankenstein elected to record the site of the formal surrender ceremony in his painting the "Head of the Appomattox River."
