Tom Horton to Be Featured Speaker in Delmarva Authors Program

Well known author and environmental advocate Tom Horton will be speaking at the “Authors on Delmarva” series offered by Westside Historical Society on Friday, May 26. Horton, a Delmarva native, has been exploring, discovering, and writing about this very special place in which we live for more than thirty years. His eloquent arguments always are founded in sound science, but with the soul of a Chesapeake waterman he couches them in beautiful pictures and a sense of romance. Several of his works produced in partnership with photographer David Harp attest to that, especially. Readers of his works want to “save the Bay” not just because it makes sense but because he makes it seem a spiritual mission! 

The program, at Layton's Chance Winery near Vienna, MD, will begin at 5 pm with a chance to meet and greet Horton, then listen as he speaks about his latest book and other publications, with plenty of opportunity for questions and answers. The program will end with a chance to purchase a signed copy of his works, or have him sign publications guests might already have. Refreshments will be provided. These programs are free, and reservations are not required, but for further information call Westside Historical Society Director Sylvia Bradley at 410-726-8047 or email westsidehistorical@gmail.com or phone Layton’s Chance Winery at 410-228-1205.
