The Appalachian Trail Museum serves the A.T. community by telling the stories of the founding, construction, preservation, maintenance, protection, and enjoyment of the Trail since its creation a century ago. The Museum opened on June 5, 2010, as a tribute to the thousands of men, women and families who have hiked and maintained the approximately 2,190-mile-long hiking trail that passes through fourteen states from Maine to Georgia. Located right on the A.T. within Pine Grove Furnace State Park near Gardners, Pennsylvania, the museum is eight miles south of I-81 between Carlisle, Gettysburg and Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The Museum is a 501-C-3 not-for-profit organization. Additional information is available at www.appalachiantrail.museum
