About Valle Crucis

The Valle Crucis Conference Center is located in the historic Mission School, featuring buildings dating from the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, nearly all of which are on the National Historic Register.  Overlooking a peaceful, rural valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Center protects the peace of sacred ground for visitors to recharge and refresh.
