It's Sunday evening and we're at Lake Anna State Park, near Fredericksburg, VA. A Nice setting and there are very few campers in the park. Tomorrow we start visiting the Cival War battlefields, presidential homes, and museums in the area.
Last Friday the Jolicoeurs took us to the Ward Museum of Wildlife Art in Salisbury, MD. The Ward brothers were barbers and carved duck decoys as a hobby business. After sucessfully carving decoys for years they were asked to carve a duck as a art object to set on someone's desk. That opened up a whole new market for their work and they became famous and very successful. The museum features the world's largest collection of antique duck decoys and other carvings from world champion carvers. If in Salisbury, it's worth a visit.
