Karen Wells, the unofficial historian of Orange, will be leading a tour of the historic buildings on Main Street, starting at 8 AM on Saturday, June 28th. The tour begins on the steps of the library, a building designed by McKim, Mead and White (photo). Other historic stops: the Metcalfe Building, the First Presbyterian Church, the Masonic Temple and City Hall. Orange has an excellent collection of turn-of-the-century civic architect. It is one of the assets the city hopes to use to strengthen its economic base and civic life. Karen's tour is sure to help: her love of Orange is infectious. Everything under the sun links back to Orange and she has a fact at her fingertips to prove it. Her facts are funny and impressive: whatever you know about Orange, you'll know more after a half hour with Karen!
