Today's weather vane was photographed in New Hampshire.
Do you know the location of weathervane post #377? Scroll down to find the answer.
This gilded weathervane is on the steeple of the Deerfield Community Church in Deerfield, New Hampshire. This church is affiliated with the United Church of Christ, with Congregational roots. I don't know if my BATCHELDER ancestors in Deerfield in the late 1700s attended services here or not, but most people in New Hampshire at this time belonged to the Congregational church which had Puritan roots.
The weathervane is a gilded scroll and harp banner, typical of a lot of Congregational churches built in the 1700s and 1800s in New England. The Congregational meeting house was built here in the center of Deerfield in 1771. I don't know if this is the church my BATCHELDER ancestors in Deerfield attended, because there are three old churches in the center of Deerfield.
