The Waldensian Trail of Faith is an 11 acre Outdoor Museum that tells the history of the Waldensians back to the time of the apostles. The property contains 15 buildings and monuments that help portrait each phase of the journey. Known as "people of the Book," scripture is what embodied the faith of the Waldensians — they lived by it and died for it. They were tortured, exiled and martyred, and still the faith that drove them from the Alpine Valleys of Italy to the foothills of North Carolina survived. The Trail of Faith is their story — each exhibit bearing witness to the journey that led them, from the time of the apostles, one continent to another in search of religious freedom and a future for their families. 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 Trail of Faith, Inc. is a non-profit 501(C)3 that graciously accepts donations to help us continue to tell the amazing story for generations to come. Give us a day, we'll give you a millennium!
