Orange - Church of the Blind Preacher511 viewsFrom Henry Howe's 1846 History of Virginia. From the historical marker at this location "Near here was the church of James Waddel, the blind presbyterian preacher. Waddel, who had been a minister in the Northern Neck and elsewhere, came here about 1785 and died here in 1805. William Wirt, stopping 1803 to hear a sermon, was impressed by Waddel's eloquence. He made it the subject of a classic essay.
