Center for Teaching & Learning

This is one of two talks presented by Mills Kelly, Professor of History, George Mason University. These events are sponsored by the UVM Office of the Provost, the Center for Teaching and Learning, the History Department, and the Environmental Program.

From its inception in 1925 through its conversion into a national park after 1968, the Appalachian Trail in Vermont has been a very different place than the other 1,900 miles or so of the Trail’s route. In this talk, Professor Mills Kelly from George Mason University will discuss the unusual relationship between the AT and the Long Trail and how that relationship evolved over time. He will also present examples from his research collaborations with undergraduate students who are creating digital exhibits from their own research on the history of the Appalachian Trail.
