White Swan Tavern

White Swan Tavern

231 High St
Chestertown, MD 21620-1517
United States of America

(410) 778-2300
 

Circa 1730. During the 1978 restoration of this inn, an archeological dig made an interesting discovery. Before 1733, the site was a tannery operated by the Shoemaker of Chestertown. His one-room dwelling is now a converted guest room. After additions to the building, it became a tavern in 1793 and was described as "situated in the center of business...with every attention given to render comfort and pleasure to such as favor it with their patronage."

My wife and I stayed at the White Swan for our anniversary earlier this month, and it was absolutely delightful. There is no other historic inn I've ever seen like this one. Chestertown is a beautiful, colonial town on the Chester River. The White Swan is located right in the middle of the downtown area, so you can walk to the water, restaurants, and shops. The inn itself is impeccably restored, and has such a wonderful charm to it. It is the finest B&B I've ever been to, and I highly recommend it -- you will not be disappointed!

"You could not find a more authentic, atmospheric sleeping room in Colonial Williamsburg.
