Weathervane Caps Shirley Meeting House Preservation Project
(Shirley, Massachusetts) The last step in the current Shirley Meeting House preservation project is certainly the most noticeable. But to notice it, you have to look up – 100 feet up – to the very top of the bell tower where a gleaming, hand-crafted reproduction of the original weathervane has been newly installed. The new weathervane caps the latest phase in the ongoing restoration and preservation of the historic Meeting House, a Shirley landmark dating from 1773. The original weathervane, badly damaged in a storm several years ago, is being restored and will eventually become part of a permanent exhibit at the Meeting House.
