At 2 pm events continue at the Orange Town Hall and Historical Society with music plus readings of letters and diaries and presentations that tell the story of how people survived during the Civil War era. Civil War Quilt contest winners will also be announced on July 4, and the quilts will be on display. A "Living Heritage" Farmer and Artisan Market will be part of the day's activities.
