The first-in-the-world Mount Washington Cog Railway has been making its dramatic ascent to the 6288’ summit of the highest peak in the Northeast for more than 150 years. Climbing through three climate zones over grades averaging 25%, visitors experience either panoramic views from Quebec to the Atlantic Ocean, or the mountain’s reputation as the “Home of the World’s Worst Weather”. In the winter months when the summit is inaccessible, trains continue to run daily to Waumbek Station, located in a snowy alpine meadow at 4000'. Waumbek features elevated viewing decks, warming huts, a blazing fire pit, and complimentary hot refreshments. Marshfield Base Station is the highest full- service, year-round facility on the mountain, with direct access to hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails, winter hiking and backcountry skiing, as well as a gift shop, food court and free museum. For schedule, tickets and much more visit our website.

Summer Serenade
Sponsored by Kate & Tim Vaughan, Badger Peabody & Smith Realty
August 3 @ 4 PM OMNI Mount Washington Resort, Bretton Woods

The earliest serenades were usually sung at night to express love and devotion. This tradition continued through the Baroque and Classical periods, but really reached its pinnacle with the sophisticated multi-movement works of the Romantic era performed for larger audiences. In Brahms’ Serenade in D, he channels Mozart, Haydn and Schubert, but never sets aside his own Romantic sensibilities. This expansive, jubilant, song-like, somber, stately and galloping piece is contrasted on the program by Carl Nielsen’s brief and humorous Serenata in vano.
