Chesapeake Classics

Nestled in beautiful historic downtown Cambridge, Maryland – Chesapeake Classics has become a must visit destination for collectors, duck hunters and anyone interested in the waterfowling days of past and the wooden decoy as an American art form. Housed in a magnificent 19th century building restored to its original splendor, the 2,500 square-foot gallery is a retail store.

The gallery maintains one of the largest collections of North American Decoys in the world. Antique, contemporary and factory duck decoys by Ward Brothers, Madison Mitchell, Bob McGaw, James Holly, Lloyd Tyler, Hurley Conklin, Eddie Wozny, George Strunk, Bob White, Grayson Chesser, Charlie Joiner, Charlie Bryan, Wildfowler, Hays, Benz, Pratt, Gundelfinger, Animal Trap and much more. Chesapeake Classics also offers a nice variety of vintage duck calls, fishing lures, ice fishing decoys and flat art.

We encourage you to experience Chesapeake Classics and all that the beautiful city of Cambridge has to offer – we promise it will be worth the trip! Until then, our website should give you a small glimpse of this very special place!
