The Gilbert Byron House

     Born on July 12, 1903 in Chestertown, Maryland, writer Gilbert Valliant Byron lived nearly all of his 88 years on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  Nearly 45 of those years were spent in the cabin he built on San Domingo Creek near St. Michaels, Maryland.  Following Byron's death the house was saved from destruction thanks to the efforts of Historic St. Michaels - Bay Hundred, the Talbot County Board of Education and Pickering Creek Audubon Center.  After a three year journey, the cabin was relocated to Pickering Creek where it is awaiting further preservation and restoration.  Ultimately the house will contain artifacts relating to Byron and will serve as a classroom for outdoor education, literature and writing programs for the community.

You can help ensure that the Gilbert Byron House gets restored for the community!  For more information, please visit our Get Involved page or our Donations page.
