Details:Before the weather app, there was the weathervane. These eye-catching rooftop objects have been used throughout history to show the direction of the wind and to help predict the weather. They have aided agriculture, industry, transportation, and trade. The word “vane” comes from the Middle English fane which meant “flag.” Across the farmlands and cityscapes of New England, weathervanes have held prominent places atop barns, churches, markets, courthouses, as well as other public buildings and private homes. Originally, they were handmade by artisans working with wood or metal. Larger scale manufacturers flourished in the second half of the nineteenth century. They became popular not only as symbols or advertisements, but as ornamental embellishments on houses. Although weathervanes are not as common as they once were, examples still dot rooflines around New England including on Colby’s Miller Library.
