The history of alternative energy on the Mt. Washington Auto Road began the late 1970’s with an Alternative Vehicle Regatta that featured a wide variety of alternative fuel vehicles testing their worthiness on the Auto Road. Because of mixed success of the homemade vehicles and declining interest, the Alternative Vehicle Regatta was last held in 1979. With the growing public consciousness of climate change, last June saw the Alternative Vehicle Regatta to the Mt. Washington Auto Road as part of this new event, which is designed to educate consumers.

“Mt. Washington is a special place,” said Howie Wemyss, Mt. Washington Auto Road General Manager. “Our goal is to make the wonders of the mountain available for generations to come. If we can educate people about the effects of global warming, they can make a difference in their everyday lives.”

All events will be held in the Glen at the base of Mt. Washington. The Mt. Washington Auto Road will be open for regular operations.

Exhibition space is available under the festival tent for companies and organizations that would like to be a part of the Mt. Washington Alternative Energy Day. For more information, contact Amy Kuzma at the Mt. Washington Auto Road at 603.466.3988 or amy@mt-washington.com.
