ATC Headquarters
ATC’s office in Harpers Ferry was purchased in the summer of 1976. Previously, ATC’s offices had been at three different locations in Washington and, since 1974, on the other side of Camp Hill in an antebellum building owned by the National Park Service. The building's original structure, built in 1892, was roughly 42’ square and three stories. The building has been home to a men’s temperance group; Pop Trinkle's soda counter; the local opera house; a combination gas station and automobile sales/service agency; an Interwoven Sock mill; apartments; a gift shop; and a private residence. During the years the building was a service station, service bays were added to the back, making the structure about 70’ long; a retaining wall was put in; and dirt was pushed up around the south and east sides of the building's ground floor. At some point later, the service bays were enclosed above ground with what became a back porch above and doors were added on the west side; this area is now known fondly as The Tomb. In 1948, the blast from an explosion of a dynamite truck about four miles away knocked out the windows on the third floor. The absentee owner at the time failed to repair the damage, and the elements so messed up that story that it had to be removed in the 1950s. Under ATC’s ownership, a 32-foot-square, two-story addition was constructed and connected to the east side during the fall and winter of 1990-91. About 10 years later, the rear of the lot was paved to provide more and more stable parking areas. Kellogg Conservation CenterATC's Kellogg Conservation Center, located on historic April Hill Farm in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, will become the core location of ATC’s New England regional operations in late March 2009. In 2004, Mary-Margaret Kellogg donated this 1744 historic home and 95-acre farm property to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Her love for “April Hill,” as she called it, led her to conserve the property as a means to support the mission of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and to assure that this beloved landscape will be available for the enjoyment of generations to come. Planning is underway to further fulfill the vision for use of this property to enhance the Appalachian Trail, environmental awareness, historic preservation, organic agricultural and other related uses.
