FRYEBURG, Maine — Fryeburg selectmen will be asking voters in June to allow the town to pursue acquiring 100 percent ownership of Jockey Cap from a resident and put it into conservation.

The 600-foot granite dome has an accessible trail and at the summit there is a memorial to Adm. Robert Peary, who once lived in Fryeburg in the late 19th century.
