About Us...
The Charles Perdew Museum Association (CPMA) is an Illinois
Not-for-Profit Corporation founded and operated by dedicated volunteers,
and is endorsed by the descendents of Charles and Edna Perdew.
Our mission is to educate the public by preserving the Perdew’s artistic
legacy in their depiction of Illinois River waterfowl and wildlife.
The workshop, in which Charles Perdew spent many hours crafting his
decoys among the smell of pine and cedar shavings, has been fully
restored and now houses the museum. There you will find a recreation of
Charlie's workshop environment, exhibits featuring Perdew artifacts,
special exhibits, decoy carving and painting classes, and other special events.
