Highlights
A charming riverfront town that traces its roots back to Captain John Smith, Havre de Grace once vied with Washington, D.C., for the seat of the U.S. capital.

Quirky, cozy shops line Washington Street, downtown Havre de Grace's version of Main Street. The town projects a 1950s-era ambience, quietly luring visitors with antiques, books and homemade candy. But what is most striking about the community, located in Harford County at the mouth of the Susquehanna River on the Chesapeake Bay, is its proximity to the shore. A boardwalk...
A charming riverfront town that traces its roots back to Captain John Smith, Havre de Grace once vied with Washington, D.C., for the seat of the U.S. capital.

Quirky, cozy shops line Washington Street, downtown Havre de Grace's version of Main Street. The town projects a 1950s-era ambience, quietly luring visitors with antiques, books and homemade candy. But what is most striking about the community, located in Harford County at the mouth of the Susquehanna River on the Chesapeake Bay, is its proximity to the shore. A boardwalk skirts the river, boats fill neighborhood yards, and it's only a few short steps from the shops to the water's edge.
