Modern Stone Age Kitchen Recognized as a Destination Main Street Featured Destination

We are honored to share that Modern Stone Age Kitchen has been selected as one of Chestertown's featured destinations in Destination Main Street, a new statewide tourism campaign created by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and Main Street Maryland.

The campaign celebrates the unique character of Maryland's historic downtowns by highlighting locally owned businesses, cultural attractions, outdoor experiences, and organizations that make each community worth exploring. Main Street Historic Chestertown nominated businesses that reflect the spirit of our town, and we are incredibly proud to be recognized alongside two outstanding organizations:

  • Sultana Education Foundation – bringing Chesapeake history to life through hands-on maritime education and sailing aboard the beautiful schooner Sultana.

  • Park Row Floats – offering a unique wellness experience through restorative float therapy in the heart of downtown Chestertown.

Being included among these remarkable organizations is truly an honor!


More Than a Restaurant

Since opening our doors, our goal has never been simply to serve great food.

Modern Stone Age Kitchen was founded on the belief that food has the power to connect us—to our health, to our local farmers, to our community, and to traditions that have sustained people for generations.

Every loaf of naturally fermented sourdough, every carefully sourced ingredient, every educational class, and every conversation around our tables reflects that mission.

To be recognized as a destination that visitors are encouraged to experience while exploring Maryland is both humbling and deeply meaningful.


Discover Maryland's Main Streets

One of the things we love most about the Destination Main Street campaign is that it encourages people to slow down and explore.

Beyond Maryland's well-known destinations are dozens of vibrant Main Streets filled with independent restaurants, family-owned businesses, museums, galleries, farms, waterfronts, and experiences that tell the story of our state.

Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or simply looking for a new day trip, we encourage you to discover the incredible places featured throughout Maryland.

We've included the interactive Destination Main Street map below to help you explore the communities and featured destinations across the state. We hope you'll visit as many as you can—and, of course, we'd love to welcome you to Chestertown along the way.
