Discover Cheverly

If you are considering Cheverly as a destination for a hotel stay, its local attractions can help you put your visit in context. These include the Cheverly Historic District, Crawford's Adventure Spring in the wooded Cheverly Nature Park, Kilmer Street Park and Arboretum, and the seasonal Cheverly Community Market. Each offers a different focus: the Historic District represents a broader historical context; the spring and arboretum offer individual nature and history connections, while the market adds a seasonal event. When choosing a destination, you can weigh whether the history of the places, parks, or a market visit matter most to you.

The Cheverly Historic District

The Cheverly Historic District covers 436.9 acres. It includes 1,314 contributing buildings, six contributing sites, and one contributing object. These figures show the scale of this historic area: it is not a single building, but a district with several types of contributing resources. This offers a district-wide perspective when choosing a destination, while Crawford's Adventure Spring, as a clearly identified individual site, offers a different kind of connection to history.

Crawford's Adventure Spring in the nature park

Crawford's Adventure Spring is in the wooded area of Cheverly Nature Park and was designated a historic resource by Prince George's County in 1980. Its scenic setting and historical significance come together at this named spring. Crawford's Adventure Spring and Magruder Spring are among the springs used by the British in 1814 on their march to Washington. Crawford's Adventure Spring can thus be understood both through its setting in the park and through two historical time references: its designation in 1980 and the use of the springs in 1814. This specific site complements the broader perspective of the Historic District with a single spring that has its own history.

Tree collection at Kilmer Street Park

Kilmer Street Park combines a connection to parks and local history in a different way. It officially opened as a city park in early 2021. After its tree collection was officially certified, it received the name “Kilmer Street Park and Arboretum.” The name thus refers to the certified collection. The trees around the park also have a distinctive feature: they are marked with numbered blue aluminum discs. These numbered discs, along with the tree collection itself, are among the specific features of this place. Compared with the spring, the focus here is on the park’s development, its collection, and how it is identified.

More parks and market attractions

Cheverly-East Park has playground equipment. If you would like to consider a park with these amenities when choosing a destination, it offers a specific recreational option in Cheverly. This differs from the Historic District’s historical attractions and the tree collection at Kilmer Street Park.

The Cheverly Community Market adds a seasonal event to these local attractions. According to official community information (accessed September 5, 2026), the Cheverly Community Market takes place every other weekend from May through December at the Cheverly Community Center; it is intended to offer fresh, nutritious food from local sources. If you would like to include the market in your travel plans, check the specific market dates in advance. A market visit depends on this timeframe and schedule; historic sites and parks, by contrast, can shape your choice of destination based on its themes.
