Appalachian Trail Museum, Heritage museum in Pine Grove Furnace State Park, Pennsylvania.
The Appalachian Trail Museum displays hiking equipment, trail signs, and personal stories documenting the experiences of adventurers along the 2,190-mile path.
The museum opened in 2010 in a stone gristmill from the former Pine Grove Iron Works, becoming the first institution dedicated to a hiking trail.
The Hall of Fame room features plaques and custom-made hiking sticks honoring individuals who made significant contributions to the Appalachian Trail community.
The museum operates from April through October with free admission and includes a research library, gift shop, and parking near the Furnace Stack pavilion.
The museum exhibits include a 1959 trail shelter from Peters Mountain and a recreation of Benton MacKaye's Sky Parlor office with Smithsonian Institution displays.
