The Dover Hotel, also known as Surrender House, holds historical significance as a former accommodation for riverboat travelers constructed between 1851 and 1853. It played a pivotal role during the Civil War, serving as General Buckner's headquarters during the battle and later as a Union hospital post-surrender.
After the surrender agreement between Generals Buckner and Grant was reached at the hotel, it became a crucial site in Civil War history. Despite the destruction faced during skirmishes, the hotel remained operational until the 1930s and has since been restored to reflect its appearance during the surrender.
Visitors to the Dover Hotel can explore exhibit spaces showcasing historical correspondence between Brig. General Simon B. Buckner and Ulysses S. Grant, providing insight into the pivotal moments that unfolded within its walls during the conflict.
