A Message From The Museum Founder & President About An Exciting New Project

7/9/2019

Museum Friends:

​We are launching a quick fund-raising campaign to support a grant application. Over the next year we are going to install a huge interactive scale map of the A.T. as the featured exhibit on our new second floor. The map will highlight large landscapes of the A.T. and will feature the area around the Museum, the South Mountain and Cumberland Valley, with an in-depth description of this area. The picture below shows the A.T. relief map at ATC's Visitors Center in Harpers Ferry, which will give some idea of the scale of the project.

 We will be applying for several major grants and it will be helpful in securing those grants if we can show some pledges by the end of July in support of the project. The total cost of this major exhibit will be approximately $35,000 to $40,000.

Pledges can be conveyed to the Museum at info@atmuseum.org. You can also donate HERE on our website.  If you do, please indicate it is for the "Interactive Map" project.  If you have questions or suggestions about the project, you can direct them to the same email for Gwen Loose, Museum Vice President, who is in charge of the project. She will be working with Graphik Masters of York, Pa., our long-time exhibit design firm, and other firms to create the map and accompanying materials.​
