About

Story

Nestled next to Schumaker Pond in Salisbury, surrounded by wildlife in the heart of the Atlantic Flyway. The Ward Museum was named in honor of Steven and Lemuel Ward, whose vision and artistry in carving decoys pioneered the transition in the role of the decoy from a working tool to an expressive wildfowl sculpture.
The Ward Museum is a cherished part of its local community on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and far beyond. Maintaining a national and international reputation for excellence, the Museum has dues-paying members in all 50 states and 10 countries. The reach of this institution reflects the wide appeal and interest in an art form that reveals the interconnections of art, nature and heritage.

Don't miss it everyone from the Eastern shore should visit. Waterfowl art and changing exhibits are terrific. Cute gift shop.

Free for active duty military and family. Impressive collection of antique duck decoys and absolutely wonderful examples of modern woodcarving. Some of the carved birds looked real rather than wooden. Incredible!

Lovely place. I haven't explored inside very much, but the surrounding area is very scenic (and lots of bugs, so wear bug spray).

Do you like ducks? Do you like duck art? Do you want to see thousands of them? Are you old,rich, and boring? Are you old, rich, boring and like ducks or duck hunting? You'll love this museum. It's a really niche museum, that isn't geographically specific. It's *exactly* what you are looking for. It doesn't matter the subject, it's a great museum.
