New History of Orange Available (with video)

The Orange Historical Society has re-printed the History of Orange Book with updates thanks to a generous grant.

Orange Historical Society President Ginny Reinhard appeared before the Board of Selectmen on Wednesday night and announced the new publication run of Mary Woodruff's History of Orange.

Utilizing grant money from the Orange Foundation (The O'Sullivan Fund) the society had 150 copies of the book printed.

In 1949, 300 copies of the original History of Orange were printed and only 70 have been accounted for in recent years.
