The A.T. Museum serves the Appalachian Trail community by telling the stories of the founding, construction, preservation, maintenance, protection, and enjoyment of the Trail since its creation. We are the only Museum in the country dedicated to a hiking trail. We are located in Pine Grove Furnace State Park, near the halfway point of the Trail. There is lots more information at our website, www.atmuseum.org
We are looking for people to be docents at the Museum for the 2019 season. The Museum is open each year from spring through fall. We get thousands of visitors each year, including lots of folks hiking the A.T. Docents volunteer for shifts hosting the Museum. You will be fully trained. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, contact our manager, Nate Shank, at manager@atmuseum.org

Mission Statement
The Appalachian Trail Museum Society serves the Appalachian Trail community by telling the stories of the founding, construction, preservation, maintenance, protection, and enjoyment of the Trail since its creation. The Museum will collect, preserve, and interpret materials relevant to these subjects in an effort to portray not only the history of the Trail, but also the essence of the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual human experience of the Appalachian environment and the culture of hiking.
Description
Our mission statement is reflected in the Museum that is located in Pennsylvania's Pine Grove Furnace State Park, close to the midpoint of the Appalachian Trail, the Museum is halfway between Maine and Georgia. Appropriately, 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.
