The Phoebe Needles CenterThe Center is located in facilities which originally housed an Episcopal mission school called Saint Peter's-in-the-Mountains, built with funds donated by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C. Needles in memory of their young daughter, Phoebe.
In the 1960's, the Episcopal Diocese of Southwestern Virginia converted the property into a retreat and conference center. It continues to be a place apart for gatherings of people from both the local area and the region.
