A somewhat historic milestone for our A. T. Museum:
The April 3rd A. T. Museum Board Meeting was the 1st annual
board meeting held in the A. T. Museum ! Joe had set up some tables
and chairs on the "under-construction" 2nd floor level. Although it was
a rough, unfinished room, we accomplished much and made plans for
this 2016 season. To see your Museum Board at work,

TRAIL DAYS FESTIVAL & THE A. T. MUSEUM :
This May, the A. T. Museum will be well represented at the upcoming
Trail Days Festival in Damascus , Virginia. We will have an information /

exactly opposite the entrance to the hiker campground) !
