About the Talbot County Tour
Celebrate Maryland’s 250th anniversary and Talbot County’s 365th year by exploring the region’s deep colonial roots and coastal beauty on the Maryland House and Garden Tour of Talbot County. This year’s tour features historic homes, gardens, and landmarks that trace the county’s early settlement along the Chesapeake Bay, from the bustling crossroads of Easton to the scenic waterways of Oxford and St. Michaels. Visitors will step inside the Third Haven Meeting House, the nation’s oldest Quaker house of worship, and the newly restored Neall House at the Talbot Historical Society, while discovering the stories of influential families like the Lloyds, Tilghmans, and Hambletons. Along the route, guests will experience the enduring legacy of Talbot’s Revolutionary-era figures and the timeless charm of its grand estates and waterfront landscapes.
