The Postal Service celebrates new Forever stamps featuring images of the Appalachian Trail. The trail, also known as the AT, was established on the notion that in the increasingly hectic and industrialized world, it is physically and spiritually restorative for an individual to ramble, one step at a time, through unspoiled nature. Annapolis Rock, a popular hiking destination along the Appalachian Trail in southern Washington County, is the overlook near the eastern county line which is featured on the Maryland stamp in the U.S. Postal Service's Appalachian Trail collection. The Maryland stamp features a sunset highlighting the fall foliage in the Hagerstown Valley section of the trail. Middletown and Boonsboro are towns located near the Appalachian Trail and are considered an Appalachian Trail Community, offering a welcome respite for hikers.The Boonsboro Appalachian Trail Community Advisory Committee and Boonsboro Economic Development Commission will host this Appalachian Trail Forever Stamp dedication and unveiling.
