The Waldensian Trail of Faith was started in 1993 to preserve the history and heritage of the Waldensian people who settled the town of Valdese, NC. Valdese is the largest settlement of Waldensian people outside Italy. Our mission is to provide an inspiring, educational tour of 2,000 years of Waldensian history.
