The 2021 season will be an eventful year for the Museum as it unveils two of its most significant exhibits. 2021 is the 100th anniversary of A.T. Founder Benton MacKaye’s article which called for an Appalachian Trail. This year the A.T. Museum will display an exhibit of MacKaye’s study, the Sky Parlor. This will be the first time these artifacts will be put on exhibit. The artifacts include his desk and many of his personal hiking books.
Also, the Museum will introduce an interactive map of the A.T. This will be one of the most ambitious exhibits the Museum has mounted with a comprehensive view of the A.T. including many physical, geographical and cultural features of the A.T. and surrounding areas.
As the new manager of the Museum, Julie will be responsible for recruiting and training volunteers to staff the Museum, running the Museum store and supervising collections as well as all other phases of Museum operations.
