This is the train station that was built primarily for the Montipelier estate near Orange, Virginia. It was restored to it 1910 appearance and presents an exhibit about the Jim Crow era of segregation. You will find it along historic and scenic Route 20 that winds its way from South of Charlottesville near Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe’s homes, past where George Rodgers Clark was born and then beyond Orange, Virginia and the church where Lee worshipped and toward Fredericksburg and the battles of Chancellorsville, the Wilderness and Fredericksburg. While the station is no longer in use, trains still speed along the rails. Just as we were leaving - with the cameras put away, an Amtrak raced past.
