This picturesque Easton mansion with its 140 acres of beautiful historic trees and water views won the hearts of Patrice and Herb Miller in 1989 when they moved into Myrtle Grove from Washington DC. They have made numerous additions and restorations to this home which prides itself on its rich history and architectural style. As one of the most beloved homes in this area, going to Myrtle Grove is like stepping back into the 18th century. The Talbot Historical Society is so pleased and grateful to the Millers for giving our members and community this exciting opportunity to spend an evening in reliving our storied past.
