VIDEO TOUR OF THE A. T. MUSEUM & OTHER LINKS !
Dear Appalachian Trail Museum Friends,
Larry Luxenberg, A. T. Museum President, just sent a link to
one AT hiker's video of the Museum's interior. Since only one floor is
open, it tours only that floor. In 2015, the lower floor will also be open;
last November, the Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation
awarded the Appalachian Trail Museum Society an $18,000 grant to
"retrofit basement of A. T. Museum for museum use and create and install
displays for youth activities" Generous contributions have made construction
of the ramps to the upper two floors of our Museum building possible. ~ the added
benefits of all the floors being outfitted and opened will be a BIG PLUS for
the entire Appalachian Trail community (increased room for visitors, more exhibits,
artifact storage, operational maintenance areas, research capabilities,....and more) !
As you watch the following video, please consider your financial support for
our Appalachian Trail Museum ~ it is NEEDED :
