This, the former home of Major W.T. Sutherlin, is regarded as the last capitol of the Confederacy, April 3-10, 1865. Here President Davis stayed and here was held the last full cabinet meeting, Breckingridge alone being absent. The establishment of the Confederate government in Danville ended when the news of Lee’s surrender arrived on April 10. 1939.
