Is it any wonder visitors come to Talbot County from all over the world to enjoy the beauty and bounty of the Chesapeake Bay? In our towns and villages, each with their own character, you’re sure to find the place that suits your personality and settle in for a relaxing retreat with friends or family. Great seafood, unique shops, engaging attractions, and plenty of festivals await you.
Start planning now! Here’s a little help with how to get to Talbot County:
Talbot County is on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, east-southeast of Washington, D.C. We’re approximately 90 minutes from both Baltimore and Washington, but travelers must cross the 4.3-mile-long Chesapeake Bay Bridge outside Annapolis, the longest continuous over-water structure in the world. From the bridge, just follow U.S. Route 50, the Eastern Shore’s main thoroughfare, which runs right through the heart of Talbot County.
With more than 600 miles of shoreline, Talbot County is a boater’s paradise. Not only does the western edge of the county touch the Chesapeake Bay, but five major rivers —the Wye, Miles, Tred Avon, Choptank, and Tuckhoe—either border or run through the county. And when you get here, we have many boatyards and marinas to service your needs, from fuel and supplies to docking and repairs — or just hanging out with fellow skippers.
Though there’s no commercial air service, Easton/Newnam Field Airport (ESN) provides access for aviation enthusiasts, corporate pilots, and local businesses. Constructed for use by the military during World War II, today Easton Airport is one of the busiest general aviation facilities in Maryland, linking Talbot County to the entire country and to the world. The airport is just two miles north of downtown Easton.

Old Wye Church
Wye Mills, Maryland
1721, renovated 1854, restored 1947-1949
The Georgian Anglican church we see today is a restored version of the 1721 chapel of ease, itself a replacement for the original chapel first mentioned in historical records in 1698 (the actual construction date is not recorded) known originally as St. Luke’s. Taxes built the exterior structure when the Church of England was the official religion in colonial Maryland, and tobacco built the interior - the proceeds of an auction, bid upon by local farming families, resulting in the box pews that fill the structure. The American War of Independence saw the ultimate division of church and state, and a subsequent decline in funds to maintain the building. Prior to its 1854 renovation, it had fallen into disrepair due to a dwindling congregation and funds, and had been used as a stable. In 1947, a generous benefactor, Arthur Amory Houghton, Jr., president of Steuben Glass, chairman of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and grandson of the Corning Glass Works founder, was inspired by the restoration work at Williamsburg, and subsequently provided the funds to restore the chapel to its near-1721 appearance (the exception being its large rondel window over the entrance, designed to allow more natural light into the gallery); he is buried nearby in the cemetery. The entire churchyard is encompassed by old trees and boxwood, and presents one of the most serene and beautiful vistas of any located on Delmarva. A printed walking tour is available for visitors to explore at their leisure. ⚓️
