If you're a history buff, fond of cobblestone streets and gas-lit lanterns, you'll love Chestertown. Founded in 1706, it was named one of Maryland's six "royal ports of entry" in the 18th century.

Besides its active history, the town has many amenities and activities, and with its idyllic location and natural beauty, you're bound to love your time in Chestertown. It is a year-round, striving and quaint town with an active community of mixed age thanks to Washington College students and an ever-growing population of baby boomers who elected to retire in this wonderful community. This is one of these towns where you can still find a music store, an old fashion book store, a bakery (best baguette and croissant outside of France…and I am French!) and a Wine & Cheese store. The town is also home to several quaint cloth, craft and gift stores and wonderful restaurants. Chestertown is also known for its Art galleries and the Garfield Theater where you can catch a play almost every week-end. Saturday is market day in Chestertown with over 50 vendors offering farm fresh products. The newly renovated Marina down the main street is also an active part of the town with water front activities. The town has many festivals include HP, Tea Party, Downrigging, Jazz festivals. If you want to catch a movie there is also a great renovated new movie theater.
