Love learning about the decoys and the history of local hunting clubs. Cool art by local artists too!
Charming place with friendly workers. Recommend stopping in on your boardwalk stroll. Everything is free, but $2/person donation suggested for the museum, which is reasonable. I liked learning about the history and development of wooden ducks. The punt gun is also really neat!
Went here on 11/15/20 while walking down the boardwalk. For a $2 per person voluntary donation, you can check out historical waterfowl decoys used in hunting ducks to sell their meat at the markets and to supply local restaurants.nnThese handmade decoys are quite rare due to the fact that hunters used to burn them for firewood if they were damaged after the hunting season was over.nnI enjoyed the film in the museum and wish it was available for purchase. It showed how these decoys were made by hand, including using shards of glass to sand the birds, prior to the advent of commercial sandpaper. I learnt that aside from glass, dried sharkskin was used to sand down wood.nnThe only thing that would make this museum 5 stars would be to add placards to the exhibit so you could know what exactly you're looking at without needing to ask the volunteer docent.nnWhile we were sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch of the museum, a volunteer was leading a hands on woodworking demonstration which was neat.
Said open. Drove there and “closed until further notice” due to COVID.
Very cool and unique place with a ton of historical significance.
