And, be sure to check out the local farmer’s markets for the freshest produce and baked goods. You can also venture outside Waldorf to discover another world of shopping possibilities.

Antiques & Collectibles
Antiquing has become a favorite pastime for many of the people who live in and visit Charles County. Established families in the area who protected their valuables from the invading British and encroaching Yankees passed their goods down from generation to generation. Some of these goods, now antiques, can be found through many of these local dealers! You’ll also enjoy admiring the fine craftsmanship of the Amish, who offer beautifully made furniture, toys, and specialty items.
