Duck decoys are both functional and artistic items. Thirty years ago, Paul Phillips was known as “the buoy man” at the weekend flea market in Wellfleet, until the day he saw a piece of wood in his garage that looked vaguely like the body of a duck. After a bit of work with a jack knife and paint, and the encouragement of Cape Cod auctioneer Richard Bourne, Paul began a new career as a carver of working duck decoys. Join us for this free-wheeling discussion of his craft. This free lecture is online ONLY. Pre-registration required;

During World War II, the Armed Forces called on America's women to join their ranks. Cape Cod, already a hub of military activity, was flooded with WACs, WAVES, SPARs, WASPs, and military nurses from all over the country for the duration of the war.

Emily Sullivan joined CCMM as Curator in February of 2022. Emily has a BA from Boston University in History, and an MA from American University in Public History. She has served as Historian at the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and at History Associates, Inc., of Rockville, Maryland.
