Discover Your Main Street Middletown, Where Charm and History Meet

Sometimes zipping across the state line is needed to embrace that need to explore.  Main Street Middletown, Maryland is just a quick drive on US 15 North, and a little west of Frederick, Maryland. Upon arriving in Middletown, it can feel as if you’ve stumbled on the set of a charming holiday movie.

Enjoy a Day with the Ladies

Gather the ladies for a much-needed day of relaxation and self-care. Book a facial at Bug and Jane and luxuriate in signature skin care treatments. Need to bring the kids? No problem, they can nap in the stroller during your visit. When it’s time for lunch, treat yourself to housemade Greek specialties at Alekos Village Café or all-American classics at Main Cup, a local staple.

After lunch, head down the street and enjoy a bit of shopping at the charming Turquoise Trailer or Hello Gorgeous Boutique. Finally, drop by the Cry Baby Café & Toy Library and enjoy a locally sourced coffee and bakery treat! Kids can enjoy the toy library while you catch up with your friends.

Plan a Day with the Family

Spend a day with the family in Middletown! Start your outing with a hearty breakfast at Dempsey’s Grille before exploring nature in one of our beautiful parks. Hike, bike, or horseback ride on 16 miles of trails in Gambrill State Park. Continue to surround yourself with nature at Valley-HomeMade and HomeGrown, as many weekends the farm is open for pick-your-own flowers and families are welcomed to picnic here.

No family trip is complete without ice cream! Stop in at the charming More Ice Cream and enjoy frosty treats on the wrap-around porch, or check out LDS Café, the oldest licensed purveyor of Hershey’s Ice Cream, offering sundaes, floats, and soft serve ice cream.
