Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Appalachian Trail Museum is housed inside a building more than 200 years old that was once used as a grist mill in Gardners Philadelphia. Located in Pine Grove Furnace State Park, the museum outlines the history of The Appalachian Trail. Some of the exhibits at the museum are a trail shelter that was built by legendary trail hiker Earl Shaffer and more than 12,000 photographs of hikers on the trail and Harpers Ferry. A research library is also a part of the museum. Hiking is available on the museum property, and there is also a Children’s Discovery Area for little ones. The Appalachian Trail Museum is across from the historic Pine Grove General Store and nearby the Ironmasters Mansion and The Old Mill. If visiting the museum in person is a problem, you can access the digital archives online through the museum store.
