The Talbot County Courthouse is located at 11 North Washington Street in Easton, Maryland, United States.

The abolitionist Frederick Douglass was held in the jail at the rear of the courthouse after his aborted attempt to escape slavery on April 2, 1836.

On May 27, 1862, Union Army General John Adams Dix issued orders for the arrest of Judge Richard Bennett Carmichael, suspected of being a southern sympathizer after requesting juries to serve indictments against federal officials who arrested three men acting disruptively at a union rally in November 1861.

A man named John L. Bishop beat Carmichael over the head with his pistol until the judge was unconscious.

[1][2] The "Talbot Boys" statue, a monument to the Confederate army, was installed in front of the courthouse in 1916 and removed after years-long protests in March 2022.
