Havre de Grace is a city in Harford County, Maryland, United States. Located at the mouth of the Susquehanna River and the head of the Chesapeake Bay. Havre de Grace is named after the port city of Le Havre, France.
Havre de Grace's location at the head of the Chesapeake Bay and the mouth of the Susquehanna River makes it popular for recreation and tourism. There are marinas and service operators along the shore line. There is also a city yacht basin and park where various events occur each year. A promenade and boardwalk that runs along the shore from the Concord Point Lighthouse to the yacht basin was destroyed by Hurricane Isabel in 2003 but was rebuilt and is now a favorite place for locals and tourists to walk and enjoy views of the bay.
There are also a number of interesting museums for visitors to enjoy. These include the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum which celebrates the unique American folk art of decoy carving. The Havre de Grace Maritime Museum tells the story of this region’s rich maritime history.
