The Museum also has an extensive research library. The museum was conceived in 1998 and is located in the Old Mill Building, a stone gristmill building of the former Pine Grove Iron Works. It is the first museum in the United States dedicated to a hiking trail. The Museum opened in 2010. The museum is open each year from early April to late October. Parking is available adjacent to the Furnace Stack Picnic Pavilion. Admission is free. The Museum also operates the Ironmaster's Mansion Hostel, a hostel and special events venue located near the midpoint of the Appalachian Trail just a few hundred yards from the Museum. (en)
