One can trace the evolution of waterfowling from an economic necessity to the sport of today in the Waterfowling Artifacts exhibit. Items date back to the mid-nineteenth century in private collections of decoys, guns, gunning boats, and accoutrements from our waterfowling past. Fresh from the Federal Duck Stamp Contest, the selected top twenty paintings and the winner in person are featured in the Duck Stamps exhibit. The top Junior Federal Duck Stamp Contest entries will be on view as well. The Maryland State Duck Stamp contest is also represented by top entries and the winner.
