Location & Facilities

The Kent County Visitor Center, located at the corner of MD Route 213 (Maple Avenue) and MD Route 289 (Cross Street) in Chestertown, MD, spans 4400 square feet. Positioned at the entry point to Chestertown from the south on MD 213, it stands prominently at the first traffic light.

Constructed by the Town of Chestertown and inaugurated in January 2003, the center was made possible through a blend of funding sources, including Federal Transportation Enhancement Program funds, a State of Maryland Legislative bond bill, and revenue from Chestertown's hotel tax.

The facility's first floor boasts a gift shop and provides visitor information on Kent County, Chestertown, Rock Hall, Galena, Millington, Betterton, and the broader region. Public restrooms are also conveniently located on this level. Upstairs, visitors can find the Kent County Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Chestertown.
