Trail Maintenance Presentation Slated for August 14
at Appalachian Trail Museum
GARDNERS, PA. -- A program on trail design and maintenance
will be given at the Appalachian Trail Museum on Saturday,
August 14, at 9:30 a.m. Museum summer intern Christie
Marinari will share with those attending the importance
of proper trail design and on-going maintenance to keep
the Appalachian Trail in top condition for experienced
and novice hikers alike.
Marinari, a senior at Shippensburg University, will
conduct her presentation while leading those attending
on a 1.5 mile hike along Mountain Creek Trail in Pine
Grove Furnace State Park (www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/pinegrovefurnace).
Program participants should meet at the Pole Steeple
Parking Lot inside the park at 9 :30 a.m. Marinari said
that the presentation and hike will begin from there,
last about an hour and end with a tour of the Appalachian
Trail Museum.
Located in Pine Grove Furnace State Park near the Mountain
Creek Trail, the Appalachian Trail Museum is in a 200-year-old
restored grist mill that is across from the Pine Grove
General Store and is two miles from the midway point
of the Appalachian Trail. Exhibits in the museum honor
those who founded, constructed and first thru-hiked
the Appalachian Trail. Since its opening on June 5,
2010, more than 4,000 people have visited the museum.
Thank
you for your interest and support,
- Larry Luxenberg, Museum Society President
