Orange County, Virginia, has quietly enjoyed a significant place in American history since its founding in 1734. It was here in Orange County, at Montpelier, that James Madison drafted the Constitution of the United States. It was here in Orange County that General Lee spent a winter with his confederate Army on the banks of the Rapidan River. It was here in Orange County that the devastating Battle of the Wilderness brought the horrors of the Civil War so close to home.

Orange County is not so different today as in those historic times with rolling hayfields, charming farmhouses and classic period homes dominating the countryside. The town of Orange, like never before, shows off its charm and history with a remarkable revitalization campaign that has garnered national awards. Here is a small town steeped in history with a warm population making out of town visitors and new residents feel at once welcome and grateful to have found such a slice of Americana within easy reach of Charlottesville and Washington D.C.
