Lahore... but in Virginia?

This is a story about Lahore, a small town in Orange County, Virginia, which in the 1850's was named after the ancient city of Lahore in Pakistan. We spoke to the present American owner of a portion of the town's land, and also the Pakistani American who has recently bought that piece of land to develop it to match the Pakistani town of Lahore. The new Lahore will have a school, a museum, an airport, and a replica of the famous Shalimar gardens in Lahore, Pakistan. But the remaining memories of the 18th century Lahore town in Virginia will also be carried forward by uniting American Lahore with the Pakistani Lahore.
