Celebrating Talbot's Birthday
April marks a special milestone—it's Talbot County’s birthday month! As we continue our Talbot250 journey, we take a moment to reflect on the founding of our county and the generations of people who have called this place home.
This month, we celebrate our rich history, vibrant communities, and the stories that have shaped Talbot over the last 365 years. Whether you’ve lived here for decades or just discovered our shores, there’s never been a better time to honor our past and look forward to what’s next.
Don't miss the Talbot County Passport Challenge, our Traveling Through Time trivia, and our special celebration on April 25th.
Warm regards,
Sarah Kilmon
Communications Coordinator / Talbot250 Administrator

Talbot County Invites Community to Shine "Two Lights for Tomorrow"
Talbot County is calling on residents, businesses, schools, and community organizations to participate in Two Lights for Tomorrow, a nationwide initiative taking place on the evening of Friday, April 18, 2025, as part of the Talbot250 commemorative events marking the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.
This symbolic gesture honors the historic signal sent from Boston’s Old North Church on April 18, 1775 — “One if by land, and two if by sea” — that warned of British troop movement and launched a united colonial response. Communities across the country will display two lights in their windows, porches, or public spaces to reflect on this pivotal moment in American history and the enduring values of unity, courage, and service.
“Talbot County is proud to be part of this national moment of remembrance and reflection,” said Pete Lesher, Vice President of the Talbot County Council and Talbot250 Member. “Two Lights for Tomorrow reminds us that the call to serve our communities and stand together is just as powerful today as it was 250 years ago.”
The event is one of many being coordinated by the Talbot250 Commission, which is promoting and organizing local commemorations of America’s Semiquincentennial and Talbot County’s 365th birthday in 2026.
Community members are encouraged to participate by simply placing two electric candles or lights in a window at sunset on April 18, and to share their displays on social media using #TwoLightsForTomorrow and #Talbot250.
