to and on our opening, we feel that it is important to keep the momentum
going so we can reach our goal of providing professional exhibits on all
three floors of the museum," said Larry Luxenberg, president of the
Appalachian Trail Museum Society. The second floor of the 200-year-old
grist mill that was renovated to house the museum was opened on June 5.
Luxenberg said the next section of the building to be prepared for exhibits
will be the first floor. Second phase exhibits will continue to
portray not only the history of the Appalachian Trail but also the essence of
the physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual human experience of the
Appalachian environment and the culture of hiking. Among the exhibits in the
second phase will be hiking and trail maintenance artifacts. Inquiries about becoming a museum
volunteer or a sponsor or about making a donation may be made at the museum’s
website, www.atmuseum.org, and info@atmuseum.org. Appalachian Trail
