Down East’s cultural history is celebrated here through the living traditions of decoy carving, boat-building and commercial fishing. Whether through the stories our exhibits tell, the fellowship of community night or a gathering to celebrate one of our many cultural traditions, we hope everyone who visits will leave with a better understanding of this heritage. Celebrate the living traditions of decoy carving, boat-building and commercial fishing through the documentation and preservation of this Down East community’s cultural history. Today, the art of carving lives on in the contemporary community, fueled by collectors of their work. No longer tools, waterfowl decoy carvings, past and present, are considered works of art. The Decoys of Core Sound exhibition features many carvers and styles from “Back in the Day” through today’s pieces offered for study and contemplation.
