Madison's Montpelier to Charlottesville and the University of Virginia

Appomattox Court House and on to Richmond
Journey this morning from Charlottesville to Appomattox Court House. Town resident Wilmer McLean had moved to this quiet village to escape the tumult of war after the First Battle of Bull Run had raged across his property in 1861. But on the afternoon of April 9, 1865, he was reluctantly thrust into history when Generals Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant met in his parlor and agreed to terms which would lead to the reunification of the nation – so in another of the war's great ironies, it could be said that the conflict began in McLean's backyard and ended in his parlor four years later! Relive the moment on a visit to McLean's reconstructed house with a local guide, and gain insights from a Ken Burns vignette en route to Richmond and a three-night stay at The Jefferson Hotel, the city's finest since 1895.

Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote his "I Have a Dream" speech here; Mark Twain penned two books while staying here.

Many Tauck travelers prefer arriving at their destination a day before
their Tauck journey begins, or often extend a stay at the end of their
trip. As a service, Tauck will make hotel reservations before and after
your journey.
There are bound to be questions when travelling. Information on everything from weather to internet connections can be found below.
Checked Luggage – General
Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).
Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.
Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.
Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home!
Carry-on Luggage - General
Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.
For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.
The Civil War: Most Hallowed Ground begins and ends in the U.S.

PLEASE NOTE: We regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs. The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.
While drinking water is generally safe at all our hotels, bottled water will be available wherever the local water is not fit to drink. We also provide bottled water on the motor coaches.

Overall Rating:
This was our third Tauck tour, and frankly the very best, both in terms of the small group, 12 couples, and our incredible Tauck tour director, Stuart. His history knowledge, and caring attention to all of us was so impressive. There was no way we could have seen all the sights that Tauck had put together for us on our own. Highly recommend this.
The incredible interactive experience at Pamplin Historical Park and the Museum of the Civil War Soldier. It brought the horror of the civil war to life and was so moving.
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?Definitely
We enjoyed the trip very much, so much history to absorb.
A great journey, and very glad we took the time to do this
trip. The place I did not care for was the Shenendoah Natl Park, the room was awful, a diff. hotel would be better, the food wasn't that great either.
Mark was very good, a pleasant guy and nice guide.
Gettysburg.My wife loved the Lincoln Memorial close up, what
a sight.
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are so pleased you enjoyed your over trip and experienced some truly memorable moments. We are sorry to hear that your stay in Shenendoah National Park fell below expectations. Rested assured that any and all actions will be taken so that this type of situation will not recur. We do thank you for patronage and look forward to hosting you again.

This trip exceeded our expectations. Thank you for making statistics come alive! Traveling with a smaller group made this trip more enjoyable. All of the guides who joined us on the tour were outstanding. As an added attraction, Mark took us to the site of John Brown's hanging, which we found to be very interesting. Great experience!
On September 11 we went on our own to the American History Museum in Washington, D.C. after our tour of the National Archives. Much to our surprise the Air Force Strings were performing which was something we will never forget. Although this was not part of the tour, it was very impressive. The entire trip was memorable.
This trip is absolutely amazing. The itinerary is so thorough and our tour director was absolutely the best. The hotels were beautiful. I can't recommend this trip highly enough for anyone who has the least interest in the Civil War! We covered the battlefields, but also the war from the soldier's perspective.
Randy Silver
It was the best vacation we have ever had. Tauck really knows how to take care of you. We were met at the airport and chauffered
to our first hotel. The meals were outstanding, the tour director and driver were excellent and we made friends with four couples with whom we will stay in touch. The itinerary was fantastic.
What more can I say ?
Hearing about the Civil War from outstanding presenters in
Washington,DC, Fredricksburg, Harpers Ferry, Antietam, Gettysburg, Shenandoah, Pamplin, Petersburg, Richmond and Appomattox.
Also Monpelier, Monticello and the University of Virginia.
What an exceptional line up !
Thomas Jefferson
Our tour guide Steve was one of the best at being knowledgable ,attentive and not in your face. I had done a reasonable amount of reading and visiting Civil War sites. Steve and the various guides brought me closer to the participants and events than I couldn't imagine. The other people on the tour also made the trip so enjoyable.I
I enjoyed the discussion at the Virginia State House. This gave me insight into history which I didn't have any knowledge.
Most Hallowed Ground was an in depth review of the Civil War. There were many highly qualified speakers at different sites ranging from experts on Abraham Lincoln, battlefields, slavery, economic differences of North and South and excellent speakers at the National Parks. Tour director, Stu, was outstanding. Ken Burns' videos were inspirational.
Visiting Gettysburg on its 150th anniversary and seeing the beautiful pastoral farms that were the sites of horrible battles and carnage. The unique Pamplin Historical Park presented a realistic approach from a soldier's viewpoint and the guide explained so well the battle that preceded the fall of Richmond leading to the surrender at Appomattox.
The government's shut down began one week before we were to depart. Only 11 people participated - the other 30 had been permitted to cancel. Having a deep interest in the Civil War, our disappointment was severe since we missed most of the highlights promoted by Tauck. We paid significantly for next to nothing. The trip should have been canceled!
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?Maybe
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback with us. Your comments have been shared with our Guest Relations Department and you will be receiving a call shortly to discuss this matter.
We were so disappointed that the government shutdown did not allow us to travel to Gettysburg, Antietam, Harper's Ferry or stay at the lodge in Shenandoah National Park. How sad we felt standing behind a chain link fence in the parking lot overlooking the monuments knowing that if our guide took us onto the grounds he would lose his job.
Stuart, our outstanding tour director, Ash, our superb bus driver, and all the local guides went above and beyond to make up for the loss of not seeing so many historical parts of our trip. The outstanding talk by Professor Lani Sorenson on the economics of slavery is not to be missed. Thanks to Ken Burns for the Civil War DVD set.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. Despite the shut down we are so pleased you were able to experience some truly memorable moments. Once again, thank you for your patronage and we do look forward to hosting you in the future.
Hello, Stephen Fisher was a wonderful leader. The rangers at the battle grounds were also terrific. The hotels and the food was very very fine. Larry Rosen, Norwalk,Ct.
Thomas Satrom
This trip also belongs in the Culturious section. We were immersed in the culture of the Civil War with a focus on oral history and experiential learning. All of the activities linked with each other--there were no loose threads. We all learned many new things and left this tour wanting much, much more.
The 45 minute oral history given by Lt. Tibbs in the town of Appomattox. He spoke of the events leading up to the surrender and the pardons given to the Confederate soldiers afterward. The Lt. further mentioned the respect shown to them by the Union Soldiers. While he spoke, I felt a lump in my throat and had tears in my eyes.
Thank you so much for your feedback on this wonderful trip. We are so pleased you enjoyed your journey.
I had no idea about the complexity of the Civil War. Getting the story from "both sides" changed my opinion about many aspects of the war
I had no ides about the slaves involvement and thru lectures given by experts in the field, much was revealed.
Our tour guide had many stories about the "truths" of the war and
when we were riding on the bus between stops he shared many of them with us. Our tour guide, obviously, was well versed on this war and made it so much more pleasant.
Dear Mr. Beyer,
We are so pleased you enjoyed this wonderful journey!
Edel K.
This was an amazing trip with the wonderful Tauck service that we have come to expect. The connection that was made by the places that we visited between the Constitution and the eventuality of the Civil War were excellent. The hotels were wonderful and we had a fabulous guide in Mark and a bus driver in Ash that really helped to make the trip.
It is so hard to pick one, but I would say the visits to the battlefields and to Arlington Cemetery made us realize what the soldiers on both sides had to endure during this terrible war.
Dear Ms. Pont,
We are so glad to learn you had such a wonderful journey. We look forward to hosting you on a future journey.
Best regards,
Edel K.
This was a well focused trip. It tied together the Revolutionary and Civil wars. If you are a true Civil War buff or interested in this period of American history, this trip covers it all! The daily guides and the guest lecturers are superior in knowledge, interest and presentation. The very best we have had in our six trips.
Learning about the "Break Through" battle. The Pamplin Historical Park was a high light of understanding why Richmond fell.
Dorothy Nerison
We were very fortunated in deciding to take this trip. Our Tauck director was a walking encyclopedia. Although my husband & I had been to Washington DC & surrounding areas many times, we learned so much more than we ever knew before. It was exremely well orchestrated & covered a lot of the important sights. We had a great experience & great journey
The total trip was memorable. However, I have to say it was a treat to watch Ken Burns on the bus video explain the history which we watched as we traveled on the bus driving through so many interesting areas. Then to have a break in the middle of this tour & stayed in the beautiful Blueridge Mtns over looking the Shanadoah Valley was so nice.
Fast paced,informative and designed to take you through the civil war story.It begins at the end at Fords theater and ends with the true end at Petersburg and Appomattox.The lectures were outstanding and only a few of these --less than 1 per day.Steven our guide was spectacular and knowledgeable.
Most sites were easily reached within 1-2 hours.
Shenandoah Valley was gorgeous,but walking the battle field at Gettysburg and at Antietam were by far the best.You have to walk it while the battles are explained.
Good job!!
Home in Australia. An enjoyable, well structured tour for anyone with an interest in the Civil War wishing to learn more. Guide was helpful and informative throughout & input from guest lecturers was enlightening. Accommodation was excellent but Washington rooms badly need upgrading - noisy airconditioning was unusable in the heat.
The whole tour
Big bear
The hallowed ground trip is one of the most memorable I have experienced. Sacred places we have all studied in school many years past are brought to life as if they took place yesterday. As a veteran from a different battle field, I can feel the pulse of war at such places as Gettysburg, Antietam, Appomattox and Petersburg. What a terrible price!!
Looking down on the blood soaked field of battle from the Union position at Little Round Top is a most sacred experience.
Thank you for sharing your recent experience on this memorable trip. We truly appreciate your sincerity and hope you choose to travel with us again soon.

The TNW Tulip sports hall is home to four individual gymnastics clubs and is used exclusively for practice and competitions. Located in the center of Utrecht, the hall is part of a much larger redeveloped sports complex and is situated next to a school and a soccer club. The hall includes a large open space for practice and competitions, along with offices, locker rooms, bathrooms, and a top floor viewing area for spectators.
The developers of the club decided it would be best if there were no windows at all in the building on the sides. This was for three reasons. First, for serious training and competition, windows can cause undesirable effects like glare, too much contrast or distractions. Second, the area is not the safest and the streets surrounding it used to be covered in shattered glass from cars being broken into, so minimizing glass on the building was also for safety. And thirdly, since many young girls would be practicing inside, the developers thought it best to eliminate the ability for anyone to look inside.
But without any windows at all, gymnastics halls tend to be dark, gloomy and lit with fluorescent lights. Wanting a better solution they tasked NL Architects to come up with a better alternative. Their solution was to peel away the sides of the walls at the top to let natural daylight in. Since the facade bends at the top, light infiltrates in and reflects off the sides of the walls. Additional skylights in the roof along with artificial lights provide more light for the space below. The result is a bright and pleasant space that meets all of the requirements of the gymnastics hall.

This double mesh cover for the Navigator pushchair with double kit is perfect for those hot summer days; it is designed to keep the harmful rays of the sun and insects off your little on but still allows air circulation.
Really easy to use, lightweight and folds compact for carrying. Keeps both kids shaded from the bright sun for perfect nap times when out and about and you can easily tuck either the front or the back material aside if only one child needs coverage at a time.
I just love my p&t navigator and due to the follow the sun hood thought I'd just need a cheap sunshade for baby in the rear seat. Ended up returning cheap product to buy this instead and what a good buy. Because of its flexibility and being lightweight I can easily fold it up onto the big hood if my 4 year old in the main seat doesn't want it yet 5month old on rear seat remains protected. When my 4 year old walks and baby is in big seat then when I lay the baby back for a sleep, the double means she's covered at the back . With a double storm cover and this double mesh you don't need the rear separate panels for the main seat . It also means when I use my 2nd seat for food shopping when baby on the main seat the food etc is kept out of sun and rain etc. don't buy the single as the double is great for single or double use!

Manufacturer: Copeland Furniture
Copeland Furniture: Natural hardwood furniture from Vermont.
For over 35 years, Copeland Furniture has been crafting heirloom quality furniture. At their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bradford, Vermont, the family owned and operated company uses the latest technology along with traditional handcrafting to produce modern classics from sustainably harvested hardwoods. Their natural hardwood furniture features original designs inspired by their New England surroundings with influences in Shaker, Mission, and the Arts & Crafts design movements. It is this combination of elements that characterizes furniture of classic proportion and modern simplicity in Copeland Bedroom, Dining, Home Office and Occasional collections.
Copeland uses traditional cabinetmaking techniques in their factory where maple, cherry, and walnut lumber is cut, sanded, and hand-selected for each piece of furniture. An assembly team devotes special care and attention to ensure that all the joinery is clean, flush, and smooth to the touch. They are committed to building furniture with the best materials and workmanship available today; furniture that will be handed down for future generations to use daily and to enjoy its enduring beauty for years to come.
And thoughtful construction goes beyond technique and materials. This is a company that seeks to reduce its environmental impact, from its initiative to produce water born, formaldehyde free top coat finishes to reduce VOC emissions at the factory and off-gassing at the home to its commitment to using only lumber which comes from within 500 miles of the manufacturing facility, reducing fuel consumption and emissions from transportation. Copeland Furniture complies with Vermont's strict regulations on air quality emissions, hazardous waste, worker safety, and storm water runoff. They work to recycle and reduce packaging material and volatile solvents. They participate with the New England power pool to generate their own electricity during peak usage times, helping to reduce the capacity requirements of the electric utility companies.
Copeland Furniture is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, was awarded Silver Exemplary Membership Status by Sustainable Furnishings Council (SFC), and was a recipient of the 2009 Sage Award for Environmental Excellence sponsored by the American Home Furnishings Alliance (AHFA).View other products from Copeland Furniture

Kick start the holidays by saying 'Hola' to summer at the Lagoon Bar and Grill Mexican evening on 14 December 2013. Spicy enchiladas, delicious tacos and a drop of tequila will set the night on fire. The Lagoon Bar and Grill provides a great night out for family and friends, with a delicious, mouth-watering meal and live entertainment for only R150 per person.

To celebrate the silly-season there will be a Sundowner Session every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon on the Promenade. End the day on a tranquil note with a cocktail in hand from 4 pm to 6pm (valid from 18 December 2013). Mondazur's local performer, Dion Williamson brings his voice and musical talent to the Lagoon Bar and Grill on the evenings of 20, 27 December and 3 Jan 2014.

ALBANY, N.Y. – Five-and-a-half tons of turkey, 9,000 rolls and 400 gallons of gravy. That's what it takes to feed the more than 9,000 people at the annual Equinox Thanksgiving Dinner.
Now as you can imagine, it'll take quite a while to get all that food ready, so volunteers were up early Sunday morning beginning the prep work, peeling 3,400 pounds of potatoes, cooking 350 turkeys and chopping carrots, celery and parsley to make stuffing for each of the birds. But Equinox has some help.
"Every about three hours, we have another group of about 120, 150 people that come, replace the other groups and just keep cutting, peeling and cooking. So it's going to be a great day!" said Lia Bosquez, Equinox Director of Development and Community Relations.
Monday morning, volunteers will put the ingredients together to make the stuffing.
