Such a beautiful aerial photo of a log canoe that I recently archived as part of the data entry and scanning project at the Talbot Historical Society! The photo was one of a few hundred H. Robins Hollyday Collection 5”x7” glass plate negatives that were taken from 1928 to 1936!

This entertaining Talbot Historical Society H. Robins Hollyday photo seems like the perfect post for this hot muggy July weather! Doubt if that tiny umbrella helped at all! It appears to be Miles River Regatta time off of St. Michaels, Maryland. Looks like he is partying on a work sailboat!

Such an amusing early 1900s photo from an old photo album stored in the Talbot Historical Society Collections! How did she catch that crab!? Our ongoing grant funded digitizing photo effort allows us to share special photos like this one with the public. The old Album includes photos from the Perry Hall Miles River area. MEBA, just off of the St. Michaels Road, is now on the old Perry Hall estate location.

This photo of the General Store in Bellevue, Maryland was donated to the Talbot Historical Society by the Dorchester Historical Society in 2017! Did you know that the Bellevue area is almost as old as Oxford. The town was officially laid out and named by Col. Oswald Tilghman,son-in-law of Dr. Samuel Harrison of nearby Clay’s Hope Farm! Interesting that it was either named after Col. Tilghman’s wife Belle or after an earlier Kent Island Harrison family home named “Belleview”! Facts: “From Pot Pie to Hell & Damnation” by Dr. Laurence G. Claggett 2004, CBMM.

This Talbot Historical Society H. Robins Hollyday Collection photo was taken c.1968 of the Calvary Methodist Church on North Washington Street, Easton, Maryland being demolished to make room for the new Safeway structure! The Calvary Methodist Church was built in 1830. It was sold in the late 1950’s when three Easton Methodist churches joined to build St. Mark’s United Methodist Church. The church housed the Easton YMCA until the new YMCA was built in 1968.

Do you have any memories of that church? Contact: Cathy Hill cvhill@atlanticbb.net to share your old photos. Comment, Like our page and join THS!
