Know Ohio: Grandma Gatewood

Here in Ohio, we commemorate April 27th as Grandma Gatewood Day. She was the first woman to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail, and helped create the Buckeye Trail Association.
Grandma Gatewood's achievements as a hiker and adventurer were remarkable for a woman of her time and challenged the prevailing stereotypes and expectations of women's abilities.
Her legacy continues to inspire hikers and adventurers around the world, and she is remembered as a pioneer in the outdoor and women's rights movements.
Anna Huntsman tells us her story in this Know Ohio.
