Storyteller, Jim Duffy, of Secrets of the Eastern Shore, will share fun and fascinating tales of “Great Dames of Delmarva” in a talk sponsored by the Talbot Historical Society at 1pm Wed., Aug. 28, 2024 at the Talbot County Free Library in Easton, MD. His “Great Dames” talk will focus on fascinating women of Delmarva, some of them quite famous and others little known. Several of the tales will have Talbot County connections. Duffy is an award-winning writer and author of six books that explore travel, history and culture themes on the Eastern Shore and the broader Delaware Peninsula. Among his books are two popular collections of “Eastern Shore Road Trips” and “Tubman Travels,” about following in the footsteps of Underground Railroad heroes. He appears regularly on the WBOC-TV show, “DelmarvaLife,” telling “Throwback Thursday” tales. Duffy will have copies of his books on hand for sale after the talk. Audience members are welcome to bring previously purchased copies of Secrets of the Eastern Shore books to the event for an autograph.
This is presented by the Talbot Historical Society in partnership with the Talbot County Free Library and will take place at the library located at 100 W. Dover St., Easton, MD 21601. The lecture is free to the public, but reservations are required.
