Chesapeake Bay Magazine Features Talbot County in Summer Issue!

Share

Talbot County is open for adventure!

Summer means being engaged with water, whether a lake, river, or ocean. Here in Talbot County, it’s all about the majesty of the Chesapeake Bay and her tributaries, and the bounty of wildlife and food produced in these waters.

In the articles of the Chesapeake Bay magazine’s Summer 2023 issue, take a cycling odyssey across the Tred Avon River via the Oxford-Bellevue Ferry, discover the nearly untouched landscape of Frederick Douglass’ birthplace, turn a page in one of the many independent bookstores, stroll the bird sanctuary of Pickering Creek Audubon Center, celebrate 50 years of the Tuckahoe Steam & Gas Show, marvel at the skill and speed of century-old sailboats, and taste, with your eyes, Eastern Shore delicacies caught by local watermen and women and masterfully prepared by skilled chefs.
