CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The Mount Washington Observatory is moving exhibits from its now-closed Weather Discovery Center in North Conway to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord.

A few exhibits will move to the observatory’s museum on top of the mountain, but most will find a new home in Concord, including the “Shaky Shack”, the replica of the 1930s-era Observatory staff’s mountain-top cabin in which the highest human-observed surface wind speed on Earth was recorded in 1934.

The Concord center is closing from Jan. 1 to Feb. 12 to incorporate the exhibits and complete a major upgrade of its planetarium system.

The new partnership will include constantly updating views of the weather atop Mount Washington, as well as joint programming building on the two organization’s December virtual talks focusing on Nor’easters, and space weather.
