Scott, Amundsen, and Shackleton – The Race for the Pole presentation to take place Nov. 1

On Tuesday, November 1 at 7:00 p.m., Historian Bob Begin will be back in person in the Keys Community Room to give a presentation called “Scott, Amundsen, and Shackleton – The Race for the Pole.”  In 1900, Antarctica represented the last major, unexplored, unclaimed region of the world.  England, with her quest for Empire, felt it was her duty to explore and claim this region.

Come and view Bob’s fascinating images as he tells us more about this interesting and dangerous trek to conquer Antarctica.  Mr. Begin is an avid history fan and devotes his research to interesting and inspiring topics from American chronology. This event will also be available for viewing later at the Milton Access Cable website.  Please sign up in advance to attend at our website.  We hope you might be able to join us for this interesting presentation!
