The recent Kinetic Sculpture Race event began our celebration of MCM’s 90th anniversary, and our anniversary activities will continue through the year. In the interest of sharing facts and stories about our history, we have added a 90th Anniversary page to the MCM web site that contains:
- World War II and the Mountain Club: Trains, Trolleys and Trucks
- Gimme Shelter: A History of Mountain Club Appalachian Trail Shelters
- The History of MCM’s Role in Maintaining the Maryland Appalachian Trail
- Who Were Our Founders?
- Women in the Early Mountain Club
- The Disappearance and Rediscovery of the Center Point Knob Plaque
- The History of MCM Trail Sections in Pennsylvania
- Future Topics
- Our 90th Anniversary Celebration
We will be continuing to add more knowledge as we research the old photos, newsletters and Council notes that are being digitalized by the Maryland State Archives. As new information about our history is added to that page, we’ll notify you so you can review the updated information if you’d like.
