Spring is here and hope beckons. Maybe soon, maybe even now, we can begin to chip our way out of the shells we’ve been in since the beginning of the pandemic. Was it just a year ago? Seems like a generation, but all that time spent in our bubbles will just make it that much sweeter when we re-encounter and re-embrace the wondrous attractions of the Granite State.
CONCORD â With the closing of the Mount Washington Observatoryâs Weather Discovery Center in North Conway, its exhibits are moving to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord, which will be closed for about six weeks to make room for them.
The two entities announced a partnership Monday to increase access to meteorological and atmospheric sciences for New Hampshire families and visitors to the state.
While a few exhibits will move to the observatoryâs museum on top of the mountain, 80% of them will be relocated to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center.
They include the âShaky Shackâ, the replica of the 1930s-era observatory staffâs mountain-top cabin in which the highest human-observed surface wind speed on Earth was recorded in 1934, according to a news release.
