A Bit of History

With sandy beaches, Chesapeake Bay access, and its state regulated shooting area, Talisman Farms has more than 70 years of colorful history. The estate has been a Kudner family retreat and gathering place for a virtual who's who of early turn of the century New England.

It was originally established in the early 1930's by Arthur H. Kudner Sr., who is remembered as a publishing giant and founder of Erwin, Wasey and Company Ad Agency. Mr. Kudner patented many techniques used in the era's illustrative design and print media. He was an accomplished concert singer and a celebrated aviator. His love of aviation was the driving factor in the development of Talisman Farm Airfield, a unique triangular configuration of three 2000' runways that are still used presently for fly-ins.

Kudner's love of flying and that of good friends coupled with Talisman Farm's rejuvenating qualities, opened the estate to visitors such as Tom McKnew, President of National Geographic Society who worked with Amelia Earhart on a National Geographic Explorer project before her disappearance in 1937 while attempting to circumnavigate the globe, Edna Woolman Chase Newton, Editor and Chief of Vogue Magazine, who's relationship aided in Talisman Farms being featured in the January 15, 1945 issue of Vogue. It was also visited by Gene Tunney, the world heavyweight-boxing champion from 1926-1928. Tunney defeated acclaimed boxer Jack Dempsey twice in fights that are considered classics. Other renowned visitors include the then sitting New York Governor Averill Harriman, who later was appointed as United States Secretary of Commerce and Ambassador to Russia, Red Curtice, President of General Motors and Roy W. Howard, President of United Press International.

Family traditions and renown within the publishing industry continued with Arthur H Kudner Jr., President of Tidewater Publishing and Cornell Maritime Press. Tidewater Publishing specializes in direct-mail advertising while Cornell Maritime Press provided books for recreational boaters and the merchant marine services. They boast 222 separate titles on their lists.

Arthur Jr. shared his father's love of sea and air and worked diligently to protect the interest of Talisman Farm's waterfowl. He was a trustee for the Wildfowl Trust of North America and a member of both the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and the Corisca River Yacht Club.
