Get DISH Cable TV Programming in Appomattox, VA

With a population that is estimated at approximately 2000 people, Appomattox may not be the largest town in Virginia, but it was host to arguably one of the most important events in the history of the state—maybe even the entire United States. At the Appomattox courthouse, on April 9^th 1865 General Robert E. Lee signed the final surrender of the Confederate army to the Union General Ulysses S. Grant. This event marked the end of slavery in the United States and the beginning of reunification. Today, the city recognizes this important event with a luminary ceremony, led by the Appomattox Court House Historical Society at Clover Hill, in which a lantern is lit for each of the 4600 slaves that were freed on that day, in Appomattox County alone.

For Appomattox residents, the real splendor of the city is found in its location, location, location. The city itself is at the heart of Virginia and is about 4 hours from Washington DC, close to 3 hours from Virginia Beach, and roughly a couple hours from the Jamestown-Williamsburg-Yorktown Historic Triangle. When you can take a break from traveling or hanging out at The Rail Yard (restaurant in front, bar in back), DISH TV has entertainment packages with something for the whole family. So, spend the night in, maybe get some take out from Bull Daddy's, and just enjoy the evening at home in beautiful Virginia.
