            • On Maryland's Chesapeake Bay

              Talbot County offers the perfect balance of rural simplicity and urban refinement. Home to sophisticated small towns, waterman’s villages and more than 600 miles of Chesapeake Bay waterfront, it’s the treasure of Maryland's Eastern Shore. 
              Renowned galleries and museums, award-winning restaurants, and luxurious spas pair with an eclectic collection of boutiques and antique stores, bed and breakfasts, and historic attractions. 

              There's a season for art, film, food and music festivals and a season for quiet and calm, ranking this as a go-to destination for both action-packed adventures and relaxing retreats. 
              Accessibility by car, boat and small plane make it ideal for long weekends for travelers from D.C., Philly and New York.

              Discover the History

              Talbot County is one of the oldest European settlements in the New World. When it was settled in the 1630s, new residents established tobacco plantations. Soon after, the county's 600 miles of shoreline made it an epicenter of the maritime industry—a culture preserved in such a way that it remains a special place to live and a unique vacation destination. A key site in the American Revolution, War of 1812, Civil War and Underground Railroad, Talbot County is still making history. American hero Frederick Douglass is among Talbot County's most notable native sons.
