- Yea WCharlotte, NC24 contributionsI went here during the fall season and it was a beautiful hike. The weather was great, the walk/hike wasn't so bad.

- Lee OMorganton, NC112 contributionsOld Colony Players started before the second world war and continues today. "From This Day Forward" has been running every summer for 52 years, it is the true story of the Waldensian's from the Cottian Alps who settled Valdese NC in 1893. It is an outdoor theater along with the "Trail Of Faith" where you can tour and learn the history first hand and visit many replicas of what these brave people left behind when they came to the US. There are others plays done there from time to time. The summer play runs Fri. and Sat. nights, 8 PM from mid July to mid August. It is approximately 2 hours long. Some early, visit the Trail and enjoy the show.Written June 5, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jackie CGastonia, NC7 contributionsVery well done. We loved this antique store. Great prices and personal service. One street off (behind) main so you have to look for it, but it is worth finding.Written November 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
