Wye House Farm in Talbot County, Maryland
Crops grow at Wye House Farm along the Wye River in Talbot County, Md., on April 30, 2025. The property has been in the same family since the 1650s, and historically was a plantation fueled by enslaved African Americans, including a young Frederick Douglass. In recent years, the descendents of the Lloyd and Tilghman families have helped initiate conservation projects, including living shorelines, that have protected the 1200-acre farm, 312 acres of which are permanently protected from development through two conservation easements with the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy (ESLC).
