Freeport, Maine’s Michael Perry is back for one of his many armchair travels talks, Exploring Iceland’s Wild West at 7:30 pm in the Large Meeting Room. For many, driving the fabled Alaskan Highway is the dream of a lifetime. Join Michael Perry, for a month-long journey from Maine up to The Great Land: Alaska. The Alaskan Highway was originally built during World War II to aid in the defense effort of the north. While it officially begins at Dawson Creek, British Columbia and ends 1422 miles to the north in Delta Junction, Alaska there are many spectacular sights to see even before getting there, including the source of the Mississippi River at Lake Itasca, Minnesota, the International Peace Gardens of North Dakota and so much more. So, come and join us for the ride of a lifetime!
