We owe special thanks to all those early pioneers of the local Appalachian Mountain Club who recognized the importance of documenting the formation and evolution of the Narragansett Chapter. Beginning with its inception in 1921, and thereafter, their efforts and foresight helped to preserve the history of a Chapter that now boasts a membership of over 2,800. The following pages reveal a compilation of various articles, newspaper clippings, maps and pictures that trace several important events over the last 80 plus years.
Beginning with a brief history, written in 1995, and a complete updated history from 1921 to 2001 marking the Chapter’s 80th Anniversary, you will travel in time, culture and environment, to witness the many contributions of dedicated AMC officers and members who made it possible for us to enjoy the Narragansett Chapter of AMC as we know it today.
