Bayman's Decoy Shed
17 Meeting House Lane, Southampton, NY 11968
This 1890s building was used originally as a corn crib in Water Mill. It originally housed a shoemaker's exhibit and was opened in 2008 as a decoy maker's workshop. Baymen harvested shellfish such as oysters and clams and hunted fowl in the off season. They would often carve decoys in their spare time. It is maintained by Betty Arnister in memory of her husband Arnold Arnister.
