Mount Washington Observatory
At a staggering 6,288 feet above sea level, the Mount Washington Observatory is a working weather station at the summit of the mountain, known for its extreme weather. Collecting and disseminating weather and climate data is its primary purpose, but visitors can get guided tours of the station given 45 minutes notice. These tours let visitors in on the lives of the climate scientists who work and stay there, including the instruments used to develop forecasts. Visitors need not scale the famous peak to visit its summit, as there are roads and rail lines available to take them there. Once there, the museum is housed in the Sherman Adams Visitor Center, which features a gift shop and concessions. These features are open to the public seasonally, so check the website for details.
