Chain Reaction: How Bikes Led to a Trail-Town Revolution

Funded through the PEDAL (Public Exhibitions, Displays, Art, and Logos) Grant Program, presented by Virginia Association of Museums and Virginia Tech, this exhibit highlights Damascus’s unique role as a trail hub and its connection to U.S. Bicycle Route 76—a historic cycling corridor stretching across Virginia.

Visitors are encouraged to stop by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s Damascus Trail Center to learn about the region’s trail systems, including the historic and famous Appalachian Trail, and celebrate the enduring connection between public lands, recreation, and American history.

The exhibit is open 10AM-4:45PM, 7 days a week at the Damascus Trail Center, except for major holidays.
