From my “archive”…I stopped in Orange, VA for lunch on August 1, 2019 during a vacation in northern Virginia and nearby Shenandoah NP. Very lovely small town with a US Post Office built during the New Deal years. The nearby Orange County Visitors Center is housed in the restored train station. Even before the Civil War, Orange was a major railroad hub. The Orange and Alexandria Railroad went through Orange. The town was a strategic location during the Civil War; Gen. Lee maintained his headquarters in Orange from March 1862 to May 1864.
