  • More Looks Around Havre de Grace

    My Christmas post featured a look at an inn in the Maryland town of Havre de Grace back in November. Here are some the sites from this historic and picturesque town at the mouth of the Susquehanna.

    The lighthouse at Concord Point Park is a signature feature of the town.

    The lightkeeper’s house.
    The Maritime Museum.
    Is this a houseboat?
    The Decoy Museum. I love the sculpture out front.
    The Havre de Grace Colored School has been converted in to a museum and cultural center.
    The Moore Family Homestead.
    A lighthouse playground at Millard E. Tydings Park.
    What a great house near the main shopping district.
    Havre de Grace is known for its murals and other public art.

  • Christmas on the Susquehanna

    My cousin decided to celebrate a milestone birthday in the town of Havre de Grace, at the mouth of the Susquehanna on the Chesapeake Bay. In late November, I traveled to the town and stayed at the Vandiver Inn, which was decorated for Christmas on the post-Thanksgiving weekend.

    Here are some looks at the outside of the Inn, which consists of the main mansion and several surrounding houses which have been converted to guest rooms and event space.

    My cousin has quite a good eye for photography. Here are some of her shots.
