FRYEBURG, Maine — The chairman of the board of selectmen sees a major benefit to having the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust take over management of Jockey Cap.
Jockey Cap, a 600-foot granite dome, has an accessible trail and a summit memorial to Adm. Robert Peary, who once lived in Fryeburg. Last year, voters authorized selectmen to acquire 100 percent ownership of it. At that time, it was partly owned by a man named Arizona Zipper.
