On The Trail: The Appalachian Trail Museum with Larry Luxenberg

Larry Luxenberg shares the history behind the Appalachian Trail Museum, more information about the exhibits that are offered and how people are able to both visit and participate in supporting it's efforts. 

"Located in Pennsylvania's Pine Grove Furnace State Park, very close to the midpoint of the Appalachian Trail, the A.T. Museum tells the story of the A.T.

The Museum is housed in a building that is itself a historical artifact, a structure built more than two hundred years ago as a grist mill. It stands across the road from the Pine Grove general store, a site famed in hiker lore. It is here that thru-hikers traditionally stop to celebrate reaching the midpoint by eating -- or attempting to eat -- a half gallon of ice cream in one sitting. The Museum has had visitors from throughout the United States and 18 other countries since it opened in Pine Grove Furnace State Park in June 2010.

Nearby is the Ironmasters Mansion now operated by the Museum" (source: A.T Museum web site).
