​The Appalachian Trail Museum plans a full schedule of free events on the day the 2022 A.T. Hall of Fame class is inducted, Saturday, October 1, 2022.

The day will begin at 10 am with a lecture by Warren Doyle entitled “My 50 Year Love Affair With The A.T.” Dr. Doyle, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2020, is the founder and first Coordinator of the Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association (ALDHA). He has completed the Appalachian Trail eighteen times, including nine thru-hikes and nine section hikes. Dr. Doyle’s lecture will be in the Hall of Fame Room within the Ironmasters Mansion.

Two events will follow at 11 am. Gwen Loose, Vice President of the Museum Board and Museum Curator, will lead a dedication of the Museum’s new interactive trail map display, followed by a guided tour of the Museum. At the Ironmasters Mansion Hall of Fame Room, Larry Luxenberg and Jim Foster will lead a panel discussion of the 2022 Hall of Fame class. The class is made up of the late Jim & Molly Denton of Front Royal, Virginia; JoAnn & Paul Dolan of New York, New York; Laurie Potteiger of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia; and Tom Speaks of Cleveland, Tennessee. Information on the 2022 Class can be found HERE. 

The Hall of Fame Induction ceremony will begin at 1:30 in the Furnace Stack parking lot. The ceremony will be a free event, but registration will be required due to limited space. To register, send an email to atmbanquet@gmail.com
 
At 3 pm, two guided tours will be featured, one of the Ironmasters Mansion, led by Andre Weltman, Chair of Friends of Pine Grove Furnace State Park. Gwen Loose will lead another tour of the Museum for those who missed the morning tour.
