For 100 years, the Presbyterian Children’s Home of the Highlands has been caring for children in need of love, sanctuary and guidance. It first operated as a girls’ industrial school in the former resort hotel at Foster Falls, where boys were soon welcomed. Later, it moved to the current campus off of Grayson Road in Wytheville.
