A Weather vane is installed atop the cupola on the Hand Tub House.

Two years ago, Andrew Gage Nichols donated the funds to have a weather vane installed atop the Hand Tub House to match the one from an early 1900s photo. Mr. Gage Nichols has family ties to the village through the Gage, Nichols, and Chase Family and has provided funding for several projects over the years. It has been challenging to find experts who could install the weather vane during the pandemic. In January, Robert Close from Close-to-the-Sky provided overhead shots of the cupola from a drone so we could evaluate how to install. Finally, in November Rich Lambert from Lambert Roofing in Haverhill and Dennis Frahm from SNF Crane Service were able to coordinate their time and install the weather vane. It is a wonderful touch to an already beautiful building.

The RVMA is very grateful to Rich Lambert, Dennis Frahm and Robert Close for donating their time and equipment and Andrew Gage Nichols for his financial donation in order to make this happen.
