Castle in the Clouds
16-room mansion and 5,500-acre mountaintop estate in Moultonborough, NH, overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee and the Ossipee Mountains. Designed by Boston architect Thomas Beal for a prosperous shoe manufacturer, the mansion was completed in 1914 and is an unusual example of Arts and Crafts architecture in New England. The estate, which includes a stable/garage, a greenhouse, gatehouses, farm buildings and a golf course, was eventually opened to the public after a series of bad investments were made by the owner, and the house and contents auctioned off. Visitors may take a self-guided tour of the house as it was in the early 1900s; visit the Art Gallery, and hike. A gift shop and restaurant are on the premises.

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. New Hampshire's state parks have a commitment to accessibility, which includes wheelchair ramps and accessible restrooms, but the terrain is, by nature, rocky.
