Big Duck Ranch, Historic duck farm in Flanders, New York, United States
The Big Duck Ranch spans 11.3 acres and features a large ferrocement building shaped like a duck with Model T taillights as eyes.
Martin Maurer established the Big Duck Ranch in 1937 as a retail store for duck products, operating continuously until 1984.
The structure initiated a specific architectural movement, with similar product-shaped buildings being classified under the term duck architecture.
Visitors can explore the museum daily from 10 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and Sundays, with shorter hours on Saturdays until 3 PM.
The building has moved locations three times across eastern Long Island before settling at its current location overlooking Reeves Bay.
