Orange Hill is a unique geological formation that has been an important landmark for hundreds of years. The British expedition crossed over it on September 30, 1778. The interpretive panel can be viewed at the entrance to the church.

Orange Hill Missionary Baptist Church is the oldest surviving African American congregation in Washington County. The church and cemetery were founded in 1870. The land was also the site of an African American school called Sand Pine School, which started operating in 1875. A Masonic lodge originally sat to the left of the church, but no longer exists.
