The Peoria Riverfront Museum's Center for American Decoys tells the story of a truly indigenous American art forms: decoy carving.
The decoy, which may have begun to suit a purely utilitarian purpose, in bringing ducks to the water for hunting, has taken on a new life as fine art, carved and painted for beauty, as well as function.
