On Thursday, June 12, 2014, Archives and History Library hosted "Volunteers for Forty Years: A History of the West Virginia Scenic Trails Association."
In the early 1970s, a group of individuals came together and formed the West Virginia Scenic Trails Association (WVSTA) to develop hiking trails in West Virginia. The first project of the volunteer group was the Allegheny Trail, originally envisioned as a 200-mile trail running from Peters Mountain in Monroe County to Blackwater Falls State Park but now approaching 330 miles in length extending to the Mason-Dixon line.
The presentation celebrated the volunteer spirit of the makers of the Allegheny Trail and the Mary Ingles Trail from the association's incorporation in 1974 to the present day. The surviving original incorporators as well as more recent volunteers and cooperating agency representatives told stories that highlighted this unique recreational trail development effort in the Mountain State.
