It was a journey of faith as the Waldensians made their exile from the Alpine Valleys of Italy to America. Relive their experience on a tour of the Waldensian Trail of Faith, which brings their struggles to life, commemorates their sacrifices and celebrates their triumphs.
Peer into the cave where they worshipped in secrecy. Gaze on the mountainside seminary where they translated the first full Bible into French. See their homes and the community oven where they baked bread. Experience life as they lived it, the journey that was their Trail of Faith.
_____________________________________________________________
The Waldensian Trail of Faith consists of 15 open-air exhibits and replicas tracing the religious heritage, many believe from the apostles, and pilgrimage of the faithful Waldenses from the Alps of Northern Italy to the settling of Valdese in 1893.
Our knowledgeable tour guides will take your group back in time as they lead you through the historic trail. Group, church and educational tours available. Call for more information.
Each summer the story is relived through this outdoor drama adjacent to the Trail of Faith.
Spend the day in our historic town and visit the other attractions in Valdese.
Step into the world's oldest Protestant Church, the children's school and original 1893 homesteads.
Learn about the history of the Waldensian people, and their journey for religious freedom.
