The visitors center for the Appalachian Trail in Harpers Ferry is considered the theoretical midway point of the trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. Each year, more than three million visitors hike the Appalachian Trail, which crosses fourteen states and encompasses over 2,100 miles of hiking trails.

The Appalachian Trail Conservancy Headquarters is perhaps the most famous landmark along the way and features a 10-foot 3D map of the East Coast.

Visitors will also enjoy browsing through informative exhibits, a collection of over 25,000 photographs, which have been accumulating since 1979, and a popular gift shop.
