Historic Easton, Maryland 

Easton was founded in 1710 when the General Assembly of Maryland decreed that a courthouse for Talbot County should be built at the headwaters of the Tred Avon River. Starting in 1817, steamships began to ply routes across the Chesapeake Bay to Easton, and it was a  mainstay of the community's economy for over a hundred years. Today, Easton is known for its small and medium-size businesses, county airport, fine restaurants, boutiques, and specialty shops in its historic district. (more)

Each year, a portion of the historic district is closed to traffic during the Waterfowl Festival, a showcase of waterfowl art that has been held in Easton for 33 years. The event brings 18,000 to 20,000 tourists to Easton’s historic downtown.
