In 1937, volunteer hikers had completed the world's longest foot path.

Charter members were: Mrs. John Alderman, Mrs. John Fulcher,

Gardner, Mrs. Byrum Goad, Miss Jezebel Goad, Mrs. Joseph Early,
Mrs. Chester Nuckolls, and Mrs. Staffford Query.  

The Society was established to promote patriotic, historical, and
educational endeavors, and to  perpetuate the memory and spirit of
the men and women who achieved American independence.

The Appalachian Trail Chapter is active in supporting DAR schools,
awarding scholarships, and DAR Good Citizens awards to local
students each year.
