The Explorers Club is a private club that began in Manhattan in 1904. Since its inception members have included everyone from Charles Lindbergh to Neal Armstrong and presidents Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover. The club, which is housed in an old mansion on the Upper East Side, features exotic artifacts from expeditions that have taken place as far away as the moon and an impressive rare book library with over 15,000 volumes on exploration and travel.
Since 2009, Lorie Karnath has presided over the club as president. In addition to being a children’s book author and patron of the arts, Lorie has traveled the world setting up programs that help foster creativity, discovery and science. She has led several Explorers Club Flag expeditions, covering some of the Earth’s most remote locations in search of answers to the world’s most perplexing environmental concerns. Her most recent expedition involved following the migration patterns of white storks, for which she went on to create a German sanctuary.
The Explorer's Club is full of all sorts of stories and rituals in which members gather a few times a year to share the lore of their past adventures, plan future expeditions and compare notes on their recent discoveries. In additon to "members only" events the club offers a public events calendar in which anyone can sit in on presentations and screenings hosted by the likes of astronauts and the world’s most accomplished scientists and explorers.
