Boardwalk and Riverfront Pavilion
Forest Trail Region
The City of Orange secured shipbuilding contracts with the US Navy following the attack of Pearl Harbor. Shipbuilding yards in Orange became one of the primary Naval production facilities in the continental US, drawing American laborers from across the country to work in Orange. The Riverfront Boardwalk and Pavilion provide visitors an opportunity to view WWII shipbuilding facilities that line the Sabine River and a collection of historical markers that interpret Orange’s WWII history.
