Welcome to The Canvasback Decoy Gallery website! The Canvasback Gallery is located in the greatest waterfowl town across the country - Easton, Maryland on Eastern Shore of the famous Chesapeake Bay! Home of the Easton Waterfowl Festival! The Canvasback Gallery shares space with Gallery 26 inside the old Cherry's building. The Canvasback Gallery is a unique tribute to the waterfowling days of past and the enjoyable hobby of decoy collecting. Some truly amazing history surrounds the gallery. The many wonderful displays in the retail area and in the Artifacts room are a vivid reminder of the great old duck shooting days! See historic Canvasback gunning decoys that once floated around sinkboxes on the famed Susquehanna Flats of the Upper Chesapeake Bay. Admire the beautiful old American made double barrel shotguns by Clark and Sneider, Alex McComas, John Krider and more. The Canvasback Gallery is one of the best sources for old decoy ducks and other fine waterfowling collectibles such as shotshell boxes, gunpowder cans, antique shotguns, original flat art, advertising memorabilia and more! Visitors and collectors of all levels will be able to see and purchase examples of fine American Folk Art by some of the most well known decoy makers from the Chesapeake Bay and other areas for example; Madison Mitchell, James Holly, Ward Brothers, Ira Hudson, Will Heverin, Sam Barnes, John Graham, John "Daddy" Holly, Ben Dye, Joseph Coudon, Miles Hancock, Lloyd Tyler, Charlie Joiner, Bob McGaw, Joe Dye, Elmer Crowell, Doug Jester, Charles Barnard, Paul Gibson, Jim Currier and more. In addition, a nice selection of educational materials are available to the public in the comfortable reading area, while the dedicated media room runs videos of D3TVs Ducks, Dogs and Decoys and more! If all this is not enough...you can take a stroll through beautiful and historic downtown Easton and visit some of the finest art galleries, restraunts and retail shops on the Eastern Shore! The Canvasback Decoy Gallery is without question an Eastern Shore destination you will not want to miss! We look forward to your visit - until then, we hope you enjoy this website!
