Pennsylvania Dutch Hex Signs

When William Penn, the founder of the state of Pennsylvania, and himself a Quaker, encouraged European settlers who wished to escape religious persecution to settle in the state, many groups from Germany and Switzerland, including Lutherans and Reformed sects, and also Amish, Quakers and Mennonites settled in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania. These people came to be known as the Pennsylvania Dutch, "Deutsch" refers to their German language. Hex Signs are a type of folk art that became common in Pennsylvania Dutch country, as the area is still called.




Paradise Willkom

The bird in this sign is the Bird of Paradise which symbolizes the beauty, wonder and mystery of life. The Pennsylvania Dutch "Willkom" (welcome) greets one and all and the heart adds a measure of love.
