| As we travel around the USA, we've noted that people use weathervanes as a form of adornment and decorative expression on their houses. Big barns throughout the country usually have wind vanes perched on their roofs, but many houses do as well, especially on the top of cupolas or garage peaks. We've also noticed that though there are the "usual" horses and roosters, some folks choose to reflect local themes in their vanes. Take a look. We'll add to the photo gallery as well as the information here as we go, but this is a good start. |
| We unfortunately missed this one as we were crossing the country. It's the World's Largest Weathervane in Montague, Michigan. Photo nicked from the internet. |

| Interestingly enough, we found very few weathervanes south of Virginia as we were heading back to Las Vegas. When we did, they were the iconic rooster or cow. We'll add to this page when and if we find more interesting weathervanes. I wonder if there are weathervanes in Australia? We'll have a look. |
