About the Item
This Historical Map was a commemorative map celebrating 50 years of the Tilghman Packing Co. The Tilghman Packing Co. was the largest employer in Talbot County. In its heyday, it employed more than 600 people, the largest employer in Talbot County. It closed in 1975, and today not a vestige remains. This once thriving enterprise has vanished. The map captures significant historical events on the Eastern Shore.
