Maryland has come a long way in terms of development. However, there are several spots throughout the state that remain similar to how they used to look long ago. Thanks to historic programs, certain buildings are preserved and restored so we can enjoy their nostalgic qualities today. Chestertown, Maryland is one of those places.

The following video shows Chestertown during the 1940s. You can spot classic cars, residents wearing mid-century garb, and charming storefronts that have long gone out of business. But you will also recognize a few buildings that still remain standing today. Although this historic town has changed, it remains the same in many ways. Take a look.
