Offering the authentic Chesapeake Bay experience, historic Havre de Grace is as inviting as it is beautiful. Bird watch from our boardwalk promenade along the pristine Susquehanna River and the Bay where you will find the world renowned Decoy Museum, the Concord Point Lighthouse, Susquehanna Lock House Museum, and the Bay’s last working skipjack, the Martha Lewis. The State of Maryland has recently designated the City of Havre de Grace an Arts and Entertainment District.

DID YOU KNOW...?

The City of Havre de Grace was just 1 vote away from being named the capital of the United States of America.

Before the city was named Havre de Grace, it was called Susquehanna Lower Ferry.

Havre de Grace was named by the Marquis de Lafayette because it reminded him of Le Havre, France. The name in French means: Harbor of Grace or Harbor of Mercy.

In 1813, the City of Havre de Grace was burned to the ground by the British.


Built in 1827, the Concord Point Lighthouse is the oldest continuously operated lighthouse in the state of Maryland.

The Skipjack Martha Lewis is one of the last remaining working dredge boats that make up the Chesapeake Bay oyster fleet.

The Havre de Grace Race Track was the place to be to see the finest horses in the racing industry. Man O' War, Extermination, Equipoise, War Admiral, Discovery, Citation and Sea Biscuit were among the best to grace the track.

During the days of Prohibition, Havre de Grace had the nickname of Little Chicago.

By the time it meets the Chesapeake Bay here in Havre de Grace, the Susquehanna River has flowed 444 miles.
The Town of Havre de Grace thanks you for visiting!
