Orange, Virginia produced two U.S. presidents and once served as Robert E. Lee's Confederate headquarters — remarkable for a small Piedmont courthouse town. This self-guided walking tour traces how that power was built, exercised, and withheld, down to a train depot blueprint that once labeled its waiting rooms by race. Confederate cavalry once charged down Main Street with sabers drawn — rare urban combat for the Civil War. The county courthouse served as Lee's nerve center that winter, when 60,000 troops camped in the surrounding fields. A Caroline Street church built with Jefferson's own craftsmen went from Confederate prayer hall to Union stable. The African American Commemorative Park closes the loop, honoring the Mill Street community that lived one block away — present, but long overlooked.
