I recently visited the Concord Point Lighthouse and waterfront area in Havre de Grace, Maryland, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. Historic Charm and Preservation: The Friends of Concord Point Lighthouse have done an exceptional job preserving this historic landmark. The lighthouse, built in 1827, stands as a proud symbol of Havre de Grace. It’s fascinating to see a structure with such a rich history, and the volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable, offering educational tours that are both informative and engaging. The Keeper’s House, also restored and open to the public, adds to the immersive historical experience. Scenic Beauty: The location is absolutely beautiful. Situated at the point where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay, the views are simply spectacular. The waterfront promenade is a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll, offering panoramic vistas that are particularly stunning at sunset. Community and Events: The area is more than just a historical site; it’s a vibrant community space. The lighthouse grounds are a popular venue for weddings and special events, adding a touch of historic elegance to any occasion. The sense of community and dedication from the Friends of Concord Point Lighthouse is evident in every detail, from the well-maintained grounds to the engaging tours. Visitor Experience: Open to the public on weekends from April to October, the lighthouse and Keeper’s House provide a wonderful outing for families, history buffs, and anyone looking to enjoy a piece of Maryland’s maritime heritage. The volunteers’ passion and knowledge make the visit worthwhile, ensuring that each visitor leaves with a deeper appreciation of the area’s history. In summary, the Friends-Concord Point Lighthouse and waterfront area is a must-visit. Whether you’re there for the history, the views, or the community events, you’re sure to have a memorable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Havre de Grace. Cheers!

The town of Havre de Grace is full of rich history with its period home, military science museum home made candy and ice cream shop and most definitely the lighthouse. Whenever I’m returning south from a road trip Havre de Grace is one of my favorite spots. I enjoy photography the bridge from the dock as well as sitting on a bench at the pier and simply enjoy the view of the Potomac. The sunsets are some of the best I’ve experienced in my lifetime. A stop at the welcoming center will give you all the information and history you need to know. Ask about future events. There is always something exciting and fun happening.

I see most of the pictures of this place are on "sunny days" but for our experience, it was a gloomy and rainy day, however, I want to show you the Lighthouse it's beautiful rain or shine. We had such an amazing day and experience there, even when it was raining, it was a great time. This historic place it's not only great place to walk, run, chill out, fish, learn about Flora/ fauna of the area, history of Harve the Grace but I also can see this place as a wedding venue, photoshoot area, proposals and to learn about the culture of the area. Don't miss out on this beautiful area and walk! I highly recommend it 🔥🔥🔥

Wanted to get out to see some water on a beautiful day and made a spontaneous road trip. My son and dog were along for the ride, and we all enjoyed our visit. There was a garden event wrapping up, so visited some vendors. Parking was easy and free. Beautiful area and gardens with a wildlife promenade right beside the water. No dogs allowed on the promenade, but mine is a service animal. She loved seeing the water, animals, and people. There's a marine museum, park, docks for fishing and boating, and a fresh air restaurant with casual food. Really nice small-town family atmosphere with beautiful sights.

This lighthouse protected vessels from dangerous waters where the Susquehanna River traveled 444 miles to meet the Chesapeake Bay. It was originally lit by 9 whale oil lamps with tin reflectors that could be seen from 8 miles away This spot is where British Forces attacked the city from the sea and destroyed the city of Havre De Grace Maryland during the war of 1812. The lighthouse keeper was one of the heroes in the defense of the City. President Clinton and Vice President Gore gave a speech here in 1995. This place is on the National Register of Historic Places.

There is nothing about this clean, well-cared for area and town that my family and I do not love. The park is rich in history and beautiful, and the pathway and boardwalk connect it to a beautiful marina. A great, easy stroll through shaded paths and open areas present many opportunities for photographs. Spend some time here. Although the original French pronunciation of the Towns name has long been lost and replaced by something that doesn't quite roll of the tongue, it's rich history and stunning location are still preserved
