The Appomattox Court House National Historical Park ruins are part of the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, Virginia which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.

[2][3][4][5][6] Samuel D. McDearmon purchased the undeveloped 206-acre (0.83 km2) "Clover Hill" tract from Hugh Raine in 1846, cutting off 30 acres (12 ha) for a county seat for the new Appomattox county.

In 1849 he began improving the now 176-acre (0.71 km2) property adding $1,056 (~$30,596 in 2023) worth of buildings.

By 1851 he had made improvements totaling $2,800, (~$81,513 in 2023) likely indicating that the mansion house had been completed.

Although he offered the tract for sale in October 1854,[7] Jacob Tibbs did not purchase McDearmon's property until 1856 and then only 140 acres (57 ha) of it, which included the $2800 "improvements."
