Event Details

Join local author, Ben Montgomery, as he discusses his book titled Grandma Gatewood's Walk: The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved the Appalachian Trail. Emma “Grandma” Gatewood emerged as a hiking celebrity when she became the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian Trail alone, as well as the first person—man or woman—to walk it more than once. She used her celebrity status to bring public attention to the Trail and to advocate its restoration.  A book signing will follow. #readlocal
