Dermaneous from New Jersey, was the last member of the original Club House, and came back to Davis for visits for many years. My precious memories of the Club House go back to the days when the people from Davis used to go over in boats to the Banks for church picnics. The children were free to run up and down the big sand hills which were destroyed by the hurricane of ‘33. People would go by buggy-ride down to the Cape to a square dance led by a Mr. Hunter who lived at Harkers Island, but he was from up north. He was a big man, but he danced smoothly and gracefully. The running water and telephone were exciting, but I don’t remember about the radio. I have heard Mrs. Davis say that people came from far and near to put on the earphone to hear a word from far away. Most of the time static was the only thing they heard. A great landmark has gone from our view. This information has been given to me by my father Mr. Francis Murphy, Mrs. Leroy Davis, and Mr. Florence Paul Davis, whose father was the first caretaker. My father said that Mr. Paul was paid one dollar a day and everyone, including Mr. Paul thought he had a good job. — “Once Upon A Time: Stories of Davis, North Carolina” by Mabel Murphy Piner, 1979 Lot 20 Continued: Stacy Men Known to have “Clubhouse Ducks” Include Alvah Fulcher (1896-1971) initials AF; Charlie Wallace Fulcher (1890-1939) initials CWF; Damon Fulcher (1876-1950) initials DF; Elijah James Fulcher (1894-1939) initials EJF; Irving Russell Fulcher (1896-1982) initials IF; James Washington Fulcher (1877-1960) initials JWF; Mitchell Fulcher (1869-1950) initials MF; Weldon Fulcher (1904-1976) initials WF; Weldon Earl Fulcher (1931- ) initials WEF; William Henry Fulcher (1896-1969) initials WHF; William V Fulford ( ) initials WVF; Alfred H.

Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & <strong>Heritage</strong> Center: TWENTY FIVE YEARS Some 9,000 days have passed since a group of decoy carvers decided it was time to build a museum in Down East Carteret County dedicated to the waterfowling traditions of this region. Decoy making has long been an established tradition in coastal North Carolina. Like other everyday activities that become obsolete with a changing lifestyle, the practice of turning wood into ducks had been taken for granted, ignored, possibly even forgotten. What was once an everyday practice might have become extinct had it not been for those whose love and appreciation for the art had been passed down through generations and outweighed the changes taking place around them. Thanks to the leadership and vision of the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild, the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum, Inc. was created and a 21-member Board of Directors was appointed including carvers, area businessmen, and local government representatives. The first meeting took place in March where a preliminary proposal for a museum project was presented. After considering all the undeveloped sites on the island it was determined that a tract of land within the National Park Service property at Shell Point provided the greatest potential for a museum project. It was decided to pursue a lease agreement with Cape Lookout National Seashore as a building site for the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum. More than a year later, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed on November 30, 1993, allowing construction of the Waterfowl Museum within Cape Lookout National Seashore on Harkers Island. We had a home and the work began. The “original seven” founders of the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild Today, the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & <strong>Heritage</strong> Center “at the end of the road” operates year round as a museum, educational facility, regional archive, meeting place for the community and a destination for heritage tourism travelers. Throughout the year events, programs and publications (in-print and online) continue to draw newcomers and natives together to learn more about the region’s past, celebrate its traditions and strengthen our shared commitment Groundbreaking at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum 39
