Pennsylvania could be considered the “home state” of Trail Towns. The model was first imagined and implemented along the Great Allegheny Passage before being adapted throughout the U.S. and Canada. This session will share the history of Trail Towns and how it has been modified for use in other places. Particular attention will also be given to the best practices, which range from understanding your market to sharing your community’s story and extending a welcoming invitation to your trail and town.
