Ironmaster's Mansion Summer Work Day, Saturday, August 6, 2022

6/25/2022

For our Summer work day of 2022, we will concentrate on preparation for painting and painting. We'll be scraping, caulking as needed and painting. Where we will be working will depend on the weather. If it's too hot or raining, we'll be working under cover. Wear old clothes that you don't mind getting dirt or paint on. Bring scrapers and brushes if you have them.

Click HERE to sign up for the work day.

Our 3D Interactive Map Is Coming!!

6/9/2022

A new exhibit is coming to the Appalachian Trail Museum!

After months of behind-the-scenes work, a 3-dimensional relief map of the Appalachian Trail and a laser system is being installed on the museum’s second floor, located in the Old Mill at Pine Grove Furnace State Park. Funded by South Mountain Partnership, Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau, the Miles Fund of Mountain Club of Maryland, and private donors, the exhibit will include future interactive features to allow visitors to experience the Trail, its surrounding landscapes and communities.

We'll post additional photos as the installation progresses. If you can't wait for our updates, just stop by the Museum and check out the progress. We'll announce a date for the Grand Opening of our new exhibit after the installation is complete.

Noted Backpacker Rue McKenrick Appears on Sunday, May 15th at 2pm

5/5/2022

The AT Museum is proud to present Rue McKenrick on Sunday, May 15th at 2pm. The event will be held outside on the lawn of the AT Museum. Please bring your own lawn chairs or blankets to sit on for the event. Parking is at the small lot next to the General Store or at one of the Furnace Stack Day Use Area lots.

Rue McKenrick is a professional backpacker, triple crowner, and originator of the American Perimeter Trail Conference. Rue will speak about his experiences on the AT, his career in long-distance backpacking, and his passion for conservation and protecting our natural resources.

The program will last for an hour and will include time for Q&A. Rue will lead a hike directly after the Q&A so that you can continue to pick his brain on all things backpacking and conservation!
