Havre de Grace has been named as one of America's best small towns, noted for its gorgeous location at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay where it meets the Susquehanna River. The city is home to one of Maryland's oldest existing lighthouses, the 1827 Concord Point Lighthouse, which is open to the public throughout the year as a living history museum. Visitors can explore the beautiful Susquehanna State Park grounds, which offer year-round fishing and hiking experiences, or learn about the area's history at museums such as the privately-operated Steppingstone Museum. The city's lovely historic downtown district is lined with antique shops, theaters, and eclectic dining destinations.
