Burt-Stark Mansion
Old 96 District
Built in the late 1830s by Judge David Leslie, the Burt house was the site of the last Confederate war council. On May 2, 1865, less than a month after Lee's surrender at Appomattox, the war council of the Confederate forces met with President Jefferson Davis and formally disbanded the armies. A National Historic Landmark, the house contains Stark family antiques, furniture used by Jefferson Davis.
