Appalachian Trail Museum

The Appalachian Trail Museum is a non-profit organization that serves the Appalachian Trail community by telling the stories of the founding, construction, preservation, maintenance, protection, and enjoyment of the trail since its creation.

Among the exhibits at the museum is a shelter built by Earl Shaffer (The first person to thru hike the trail), a sign from the peak of Mt. Katahdin (The northern terminus of the trail), and tools used by Myron Avery to calculate the length of the trail during and after construction of the trail.

There are also exhibits describing each state along the Appalachian Trail and what you might expect to experience today on the trail.
