Actress Anne Van Curen transforms into Emma "Grandma" Gatewood to describe what it was like to be the first woman to solo hike the Appalachian Trail in 1955. The dramatization is based on the book Grandma Gatewood's Walk, which was written from accounts of Gatewood's surviving family members, newspaper magazine articles, and her own diaries and trail journals. Anne has performed from Georgia to Maine at multiple Trail Days Festivals and hiking clubs, as well as at the AT Museum in Pennsylvania.
