Description
Concord Point Lighthouse,
This beautiful sunny scene is the Concord Point Lighthouse located in the small Maryland town of Havre de Grace. It overlooks the point where the Susquehanna River flows into the Chesapeake Bay (the northernmost lighthouse on the Chesapeake Bay).
I was driving to one of the national parks, but wanted to quickly drive through the town of Havre de Grace so that hubby Richard and I could finally say we have visited this quaint small town. Wow, to our surprise, there was more to see than expected.
Havre de Grace, Maryland became our adventure and photographing spot for the day. (Saturday is Date Day for me and Richard. It's the one day I get hubby's time for the day and night. On Sunday hubby is free to watch sports or whatever he wants, all day if he chooses). Fair exchange, wouldn't you agree?
Here are some fun facts about this historical Lighthouse:
a) Built in 1827,
b) It is the second oldest lighthouse in the state of Maryland that is accessible to the public,
c) It is the northern-most lighthouse on the Chesapeake Bay,
d) Built of local Port Deposit granite
e) John O'Neill, hero of War of 1812, was the First Keeper,
f) Lighthouse tower is 30 feet high,
g) Tower walls are 3 feet thick at the base and 18 inches at the top,
h) Automated in 1920,
If ever you are near Havre de Grace in your travels or live in the Maryland area and have never visited this beautiful little town, I highly recommend it. The scenery along is spectacular. There is a huge boardwalk that takes you all the around to the marina and another park and playground for kids.
The locals are amazing in Havre de Grace, Maryland! Everyone we came across was so nice and friendly. Just a beautiful atmosphere to be in. Emmy Vickers,
