Heritage at the Orleans Historical Society: Gunning, Bird Carving & the "Art of the Decoy" on Pleasant Bay

Come, experience Cape Cod's decoy tradition first hand.  The Orleans Historical Society display of the finest examples of working decoys that floated on the shores of Pleasant Bay is a legacy to the past. Experience the history of gunning, carving and artistry from prior years.  Photos, stories and art showcase a past that is only captured by the collector or true adventurer today: the one who wades in the marsh or sits quietly in the duck blind among the bobbing decoys waiting for that one clear shot!
