Rolling Hills And Charming Inns Are The Calling Cards Of This Quaint Virginia Town

• Where To Eat & Drink
• Where To Stay

Courtesy of Visit Orange Virginia

There’s a lot of history behind the town of Orange, Virginia, which celebrated its 150 th birthday in 2022. Nestled in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains, as part of Virginia’s Piedmont region, Orange is a quiet hamlet of around 5,000 folks that’s within easy driving distance of more populated locales like Charlottesville (20 miles), Richmond (60 miles), and Washington, D.C. (70 miles). If you take a trip to this lesser-known destination, expect small town charm from shops and restaurants in its Main Street district, hospitable hosts at local bed and breakfasts , and a lesson in history thanks to the town’s proximity to U.S. president and Founding Father James Madison’s Montpelier. Here are the 10 best things to do in Orange, Virginia.

What To Do In Orange, Virginia

Learn the town history.

There are several spots around town where you can get a glimpse into what Orange was like during its early days. The historic Orange County Courthouse, built in 1859 at the center of downtown, is a good place to start. A short walk away, you can learn all about the town’s history at the James Madison Museum of Orange County Heritage. Finally, stop into the Historic Orange Train Station, which was built in 1909 and now hosts the county’s visitor’s center, to get more general information about the town and its railroad past.

Visit James Madison’s Montpelier

The big attraction near Orange is the historic plantation and lifelong home of James Madison known as Montpelier. Visitors to the national landmark have an opportunity to not only see the place that one of our Founding Fathers called home, but to learn about his impact—both good and bad—on the country. The site serves as a memorial to both James Madison and enslaved people. It’s also a museum of American history and a place to learn about the Constitution. Exhibits and galleries like “Color Through A Child’s Eyes”, “The Mere Distinction of Colour,” and “Mysteries of Montpelier” aim to tell a more complete story of the historic site and the time in which it was built. Visit the site on the first weekend in November to attend the Montpelier Hunt Races , a steeplechase horse race that's taken place here for almost 90 years.

Go Skydiving

If you want to take a walk—or should we say jump—on the wild side, book a session with Skydive Orange, which has been taking folks high into the sky since 1977. As one of the most established skydiving centers in the country, this is a great place to finally check off that bucket list item. You’ll free fall from a height of 13,500 feet in the air, leaving plenty of time to soak in the surrounding sights of rolling hills, dramatic mountains, and all-around stunning scenery.

Shop Downtown

Strolling and shopping along Orange’s Main Street is the perfect afternoon activity. Restaurants, boutiques, and locally owned specialty stores line the cheery streets, so there’s plenty to pique everyone’s interest. A couple of extra-special spots include Grelen Downtown and Objects on Main . Grelen Downtown is a well-curated gift shop and sister store to The Market at Grelen , a European-style garden shop and café located on a 1,000-acre nursery just down the road from Orange. If you love Grelen’s downtown outpost, take the quick drive to its flagship, where you’ll also find six miles of hiking trails and u-pick fruit in certain seasons. Objects on Main is your go-to shop for eclectic home décor, art, furniture, apparel, and more.
