BRETTON WOODS — The Mount Washington Cog Railway will be hosting its annual “Railway to the Moon” steampunk festival on Aug. 17 and 18.

The steampunk festival is a celebration of the inventiveness of Cog entrepreneur, Sylvester Marsh, and his undaunted will to build a “Railway to the Moon.” It is a combination of the wild west meets Jules Verne meets the Victorian Era with a circus-like atmosphere.
