Chestertown Historic District, Colonial port district in Chestertown, Maryland.

The brick houses along Water Street present a collection of more than fifty Georgian structures facing the Chester River waterfront.

Between 1750 and 1790, this port served as the principal trading location for tobacco and wheat on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

Washington College, established in 1782 as the first chartered college in the United States, maintains its campus within the historic district.

The district offers convenient parking areas marked by numbered circles on downtown maps between Court Street and Water Street.

The Hynson-Ringgold House features original Georgian paneling from 1767, with sections now displayed at the Baltimore Museum of Art.
