Hampstead
www.Hampsteadmd.gov
Hampstead, a historic,
friendly community with a
quintessentially classic Main
Street, has grown quickly
since the first stagecoach
came to town in 1808 and
has still retained its small-
town charm and beauty.
Several events are held in
Hampstead: Hampstead
Day (May), the Fireman’s
Carnival and Parade (August),
Fallfest (October), the
Farmers’ Market (Saturdays,
June-September), the
Christmas Tree Lighting
(December), and more.
The historic
Train Station
,
originally constructed
in 1912, is a museum
showcasing Hampstead’s
history; the monumental
War Memorial
on Main
Street honors veterans from
World War I forward. Play
golf at
Oakmont Green
or
take a walk in one of the
restful parks…dine at one
of the many locally-owned
restaurants, and be sure to
visit the downtown shops
and the nearby
Galloping
Goose
winery. Come and see
why Hampstead was named
“Best Place to Raise Children
in Maryland” and “Safest
Place to Live in Maryland”!

dates back to the 1760s
and is famous for being the

were housed in or around

Manchester has kept its
small-town feel through local
