Small Town Living with a Historic Past
Historic Valdese, North Carolina, located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is not your typical small southern town. Valdese's rich heritage crosses not only generations but spans oceans and continents.
Founded by Waldensian settlers at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Valdese is a friendly, welcoming community - a small town that values its people and its history.
Perfect destination for those church groups and senior groups looking for the ideal and affordable day trip. Experience the Trail of Faith and Waldensian Heritage Museum and Gift Shop. Stop in at the Old Rock School to see local and regional art or drop in at the Piedmont and Western Railroad Club to check out the HO scale railroad that recreates the line from Marion, NC to Leadvale, TN. Cap off the day and relax with a "taste of the grape" at the Waldensian Heritage Winery.
