Silent Shifts: Evolving Winters in the White Mountains

Location: Museum of the White Mountains

Dates: January 21 – March 29, 2025

The tingle of freezing cold air in your nose. The sting of the wind on exposed cheeks. The sparkle of fresh snow in the brilliant winter sun. The squeak of a pole going into cold, packed snow. The crunch of a snowshoe breaking through a hard crust. For some, these sensations of winter evoke a feeling of joy that comes with playing outside in the snow. For others, they might bring to mind the hard work of clearing the roads or the fear of falling on an unseen patch of ice. Silent Shifts traces how our experience of winter has changed over the last 150 years and how it will continue to change. We explore how the intersection of simultaneous changes in our climate, technology, and access to the outdoors are affecting our experience of winter.

This exhibition is co-curated by Meghan Doherty and Joe Klementovich
