Description

This major American art form has been an enduring part of the landscape since Colonial days.

America s first documented vane maker, Shem Drowne of Boston, crafted the iconic golden grasshopper that has topped the city s Faneuil Hall since 1743.

Farmers made roosters, cows, and horses for their barns.

As the tradition and public demand expanded, so did the diversity of forms.

Today, weathervanes hold a well-established place in the canon of American folk art.

American Weathervanes celebrates this artistry and is the most up-to-date and authoritative work on this subject.
