The Appalachian Trail Museum Society announced nominations for the Appalachian Trail Hall of Fame Class of 2019 will be accepted through January 31.
The Hall of Fame recognizes those who have made a significant contribution toward establishing and maintaining the approximately 2,190 mile footpath that passes through 14 states from Maine to Georgia.
"The ninth class of the Appalachian Trail Hall of Fame will be inducted in 2019, and nominations are open for Hall of Fame nominees," said Larry Luxenberg, president of the Appalachian Trail Museum Society – the organization that oversees the Appalachian Trail Hall of Fame. "Nominees should be people who have made a significant positive contribution to the Appalachian Trail and who have unselfishly devoted their time, energy and resources toward making the Appalachian Trail a national treasure."
36 individuals have been inducted into the Hall of Fame in the first eight years.
"These pioneers played critical roles in building, maintaining, protecting and publicizing the Appalachian Trail", Luxenberg said.
