This museum is built around a little-known but fascinating art form that was largely perfected by two brothers who rarely left their small town. In the early 20th century, Stephen and LT Ward – natives of nearby Crisfield – spent a lifetime carving and painting waterfowl decoys that are wonderful in their realism and attention to detail. The Ward Museum exhibits the works of the Brothers Ward, as well as decoy art gathered from around the world.
