Snap Your Cover Photo with the New Orange Uncovered Photo Backdrops
By: Julie Perry, Assistant Director, Economic Development and Tourism
Orange Uncovered showcases a variety of diverse, brave, and dynamic stories from Orange County that are worth hearing and repeating. The campaign encourages those looking for unique and exciting ways to explore our rich history to grab their metaphorical magnifying glass and dive deeper into the mysteries of our past. Now, with the launch of several fun backdrop locations, participants will be able to pick up a literal (and comically large) magnifying glass, or fried chicken leg, horseshoe, wine glass, etc., for a fun Orange Uncovered photo opportunity! These displays are available at the Orange County Visitor Center in the Town of Orange Train Depot, the Gordonsville Visitor Center, and the Germanna Visitor Center in Locust Grove. Want to learn more about the six Orange Uncovered stories? Visit www.visitorangevirginia.com/orange - uncovered to watch insightful videos and unearth more detail about Stonewall Jackson ’ s severed arm, the ruins at Barboursville Vineyard, how Gordonsville became the fried chicken capital of the universe, James Madison ’ s favorite chair and its potential connection to Thomas Jefferson, the potato salad sandwich and its role in bringing people together in Orange, and the fabled expedition of Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spotswood and the famous Knights of the Golden Horseshoe. Happy exploring!
