What to expect when you visit

When arriving to the Waldensian Heritage Museum you will be greeted by a docent. The start of your tour will begin with a short video in our orientation room to introduce you to the Waldensian history. Next you will be led throughout our spacious museum to see the largest collection of Waldensian artifacts in the United States. We hope you visit with us soon!
