I saw this on another site.

I go out to the Island several times a year. This museum has always been my favorite. Up until it closed three years ago, I or I should say "we", my Wife would always tag along too, would always schedule an afternoon to just walk around and gawk.
I used to watch "Cigar" Daisey carve and paint. He was never afraid to share a story or two. Back in the early eighties, you could stop in and watch him carve and paint a Bufflehead or a Ruddy and then buy it for about thirty dollars. A shame for what those same decoys go for now.
My Wife and I were some of the last few people to go thru the museum. The girl behind the counter told us they were closing that afternoon after we left. I had always hoped someone would buy the place and re-open it.
I guess it's not to be. Too bad. One of my favorite places in the whole world.
Here's a few snapshots for those of you who never had the opportunity to visit.
