- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Nestled in rural central Virginia is the small, but historic town of Orange. Although filled with historic places, its real place in America is the town closest to the home of President James Madison, the father of the US Constitution. For this year’s Constitution Day (September 17 each year) we visit the small town where the Constitution was essentially born.

Wow, absolutely gorgeous town, music, and video.
Thank you very much!
Small towns, old fashioned architecture and minimal traffic, always give a cozy feel. Thanks for the info and great video.
+chiefamylee Most of the country is full of small towns rather than big cities, so even though most population is in cities, by shear area small towns, I believe, are most representative of what fills America. So we try to show both to the extent possible. This small town is special to me because of its relevance to our Constitution. I am really glad you enjoyed this episode!! Paul
I enjoyed your small video it reminded me of home while I've been gone.
+David Simcox Thank you. I am so glad to hear this. It really is a lovely town.
7:20 Neighborhood I grew up in. Something about Orange that just feels right, that you don't realise you're missing untill you're in a big city... For one driving there is way less stressful, and every time you go out you're likely to see people you know.
My Ancestors lived there according to the 1870 census. Looks very cozy.
It seems to be a pleasant place, and we've enjoyed staying here a couple of times.
Thank you for your informative tour. The town looks peaceful, great hillview and my fav building from there is the Court House, which is really beautiful.
+Firdaus Idros Thank you! It is so difficult to try and cover a whole town in one short video that I never am sure if I have included all of the right stuff. I also found the court house a fascinating building. This is such a really pleasant little town. Thanks again, and it's great hearing from you! Paul
i live in Orange Va :).
That is very nice.
staying here for a couple of nights this October (2016) thanks for posting this video. Looks like a great place
We've been there a few times, and always enjoyed it. Hope you enjoy your stay! Thanks! Paul
An old southern town
I guess I didn't think of it in those specific terms, but yeah.
My father was born in Orange way back in 1947
Thanks for sharing.
This is a great little town. I lived there for fifteen years.
Small towns have charm, and are in general peaceful. I am happy to have returned to small town living.
I really miss this place, I was living 1 years overthere. I hope I can enjoyed orange again
It seems like an adorable little town. We have been there on multiple occasions. I hope you can get there again too. Paul

+Eusepio1957 Hey Ettore! Thanks! This is a very neat little town. This was filmed on a Sunday, so people were out and about enjoying their weekend. We did love the beautiful homes and yards. It has that very peaceful small-town feel about it. We plan to get back there in the near future. Thanks again, and greetings from USA! Paul
We live in Orange. The best place we have lived in our entire married life. Absolutely love it!!
It's a beautiful little town. Always enjoy visiting there. Thanks!

Akapete what is your name
It is a really nice town to live in
Man i love this one! :) i love seeing small towns tho i think i couldnt live in one ,but i gotta notice .. even this lil place has McD? heh ,btw are there any kids around? Is it a place where mostly older ppl live or ..?
+kimi kimster Hey Kimi! Yes there are plenty of kids around. We passed the elementary, middle and high schools while we were there. It is similar in some respects to the town I grew up in. The difference being that there is a lot of colonial American history with Orange. I am really glad to enjoyed this one. It was actually a fun episode to make. I really like this town! Thanks, Paul
Bradley Toombs thank u ,looks really nice
This is where my family is from we owned The Frank Ellis Estate
It seems a pleasant town. We've stayed there a couple of times and always enjoyed our time.
In honor of the marriage (March 25, 1734) of Prince William IV (House of Orange, Netherlands) to Royal Princess Anne (House of Hanover, England) that the principality/county of Orange was decreed into existence on August 8, 1734. For close to 5 years, it was the largest of England's holdings in Colonial America. 1739, Orange was chopped up to make territories and other counties. In 1749, the Village of Orange was made the new courthouse location when a chunk of land was carved out to create Culpeper County. Population is just shy of 5,000 (2020). The Town is on the National Register of Historic Places. For a great virtual tour of the historic district: jamesmadison.oncell.com/en/index.html
INCLUDED IN Orange County (1734 into 1739): Kentucky, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, about 1/2 of Virginia (Split north to south), a chunk of Western Pennsylvania, and 1/2 of Michigan and 1/2 of Wisconsin. MADISON and Z. TAYLOR 2nd cousins, sharing great grandparents; Col. James I and Martha T. Taylor of Bloomsbury (behind regional airport). Taylor was born in Orange.
Wish you could have fit the museum into your visit - perhaps next time you're in the area?
Museums in general are notoriously recalcitrant about letting anyone video, so I typically avoid them anymore. Experience has taught me that the process of getting permission(s) is usually more horrific than it's worth.
@@Realunitedstates We welcome video/photograph with only 1 requirement; that the museum is credited in the video or with the photograph. I hope you will reconsider.
Thank you, I will. Next time we are in the area it would be a pleasure.
I am not american, i am Portuguese from these little islands called the Azores Archipelago. I live on the biggest island and the biggest city/town (which has roughly around 69,000 hab). Its considered a small demographic. I used to want to get out of here and go to our country's capital and such, until i visited and felt horrible. Don't get me wrong, it was amazing seeing different shops and stores we dont have here, but to be unable to smell the nature/ocean, the always chaotic environment , thousnads and thousands of people in malls and such, the traffic, i didnt like it as a place to actually live.
I love my town and my island because it is calm, relaxing, empty beaches, parks, trails and such. We even have secret spots we dont tell tourists , so we can enjoy them for ourselves.
Anyways, i have always been infactuated with the USA, and one of the things i would love, would be to step aside from main cities, and actually visit these small towns. I feel like they bring the best and most natural/historic of the country. :)
Small towns are in fact some of the most lovely places.
Its possible to get there by Amtrack train.
+Félix Maltchinski Felix, I don't think the Amtrak actually makes a stop in Orange, but you would have to check their website to be sure.
Thanks Paul but I will be at the Central station later.
Yeah, I can confirm as a resident that the train USED to stop there, but that was about 100 years ago. The old train station is now a restaurant.
