Things To Do

We're so excited to share a few of our favorite places in the area with you. St. Marys is a hidden gem with rich history and waterfront fun. We highly encourage our out of town guests to make a weekend out of it!
The Square at Downtown Leonardtown

The Square at Downtown Leonardtown

Leonardtown, MD 20650

Leonardtown square is the heart of historic downtown Leonardtown - Madelyn's hometown! For a sweet treat we recommend the Salted Scoop or the Kneaded Bakery. For dinner we recommend the Olde Towne Pub or Sweetbay. For drinks, coffee, or breakfast we recommend The Social Coffeehouse (as mentioned separately!) and Boone's Bagels. You can walk to the Leonardtown Wharf from here to see the Breton Bay waterfront.

SOCIAL Coffeehouse & Cocktail Bar
