Talbot County Councilman Pete Lesher

Learn about the everyday operations of our county government — and how to get involved in shaping the future of this community we call home.

Talbot County is more than just a beautiful place to live — it’s a community with deep maritime roots, thriving farms, and vibrant small towns, all woven together through a unique and carefully balanced system of local government.

In partnership with the Talbot Free Library, Easton, this class offers an engaging look at how Talbot County is organized and how it operates — from the County Council and departments that keep things running smoothly, to the boards, commissions, and committees where citizens can lend their voices and expertise.

We’ll explore the history that shaped Talbot’s government, the challenges of managing a county that treasures both its waterways and rural landscapes, and the many ways residents can get involved to make a difference.
