Admiral Robert E. Peary is famous for his claim to be the first person to reach the North Pole. While his name is the most often associated with the achievement, many people helped him on his quest. One of the many people that supported him was Morris K. Jesup, who is the namesake of the Jesup Memorial Library. Learn more about Peary and his Arctic connections, including Jesup, with Genevieve LeMoine, Curator and Registrar at the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum and Arctic Studies Center, at the Jesup on Friday, April 8 at 7 p.m.
