In Connecticut there is a small unassuming town that is truly worth exploring. Sometimes when you grow up in a town you don't always appreciate the little things but today with the sun shining bright, the simplest places I see all the time seemed especially beautiful. The town is Orange and growing up everybody always thought oranges were rolling down the roads. However, after all that joking, many of the buildings really looked magnificent and made me realize how incredible this town truly is. The town was incorporated in 1822 and was actually named after William III of England, who was Prince of Orange from birth. Whether you are exploring the Orange public library, or the old farm houses and rolling farmland, the new art exhibition at the Town hall or the old Congregational Church proudly standing next to the town center green, everywhere there is a breathtaking sense of peace and tranquility. It is definitely worth a drive through from anywhere. read more
