We welcome Pete Lesher, Chief Historian at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, MD. He will present "Founding Talbot: Connecting by Water." Boasting more than 600 miles of shoreline, people in Talbot County have always been reliant on the water for trade and sustenance. This illustrated talk will explore how from its founding, Talbot County residents made good use of their geographical advantages in shipping and shipbuilding, and how their choices began to shape the place as we have come to know it.
