Do you know the location of weathervane post #351? Scroll down to find the answer.
This arrow weathervane can be seen atop the steeple of the Congregational Church on the village green in Norwich, Vermont. This congregation was first gathered in 1770. A building was built in this location in 1852. The bell in the steeple is an original Paul Revere bell, purchased in 1817. Last year, 2017, marked the 200th anniversary of this historic bell.
This quintessential New England church in Norwich was immortalized by painter Maxfield Parrish "Peaceful Night, Church at Norwich Vermont" 1950 |
