Welcome to the White Swan Tavern

Impeccably restored colonial-era inn nestled in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay region.

The White Swan Tavern has been a familiar landmark in Chestertown since its pre-Revolutionary War days. Not far from the great Eastern cities of Baltimore, Washington, and Philadelphia, the White Swan Tavern is a quiet and elegant inn nestled within the rich historical tapestry of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay region.

Though conveniently located in the center of downtown Chestertown, within walking distance of the shops and restaurants, the Chester River waterfront, and the weekly Saturday farmer's market, the White Swan offers solitude and privacy for its guests.

Just as it was described in the 18th century, the White Swan remains "a comfortable... Public House... with every attention given to render comfort and pleasure to such as favor it with their patronage."
