Trail Museum's First Exhibit Dedicated

There's a really nice article in the Washington Post titled "Weaving the Tale Of Trekking's Gritty Fellowship" which was written by Delphine Schrank and published on 3 June 2007. It records the
"an effort to build a museum. About 100 people gathered here Saturday for the dedication of a modest first exhibit at the headquarters of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that for 82 years has overseen America's longest marked footpath and first National Scenic Trail."
Larry Luxenberg, author, head of the Appalachian Trail Museum Society, and hiker, is quoted.

There is also an intelligent description of some of the Trail lore, including the use of trail names.
