Havre de Grace, MD

Havre de Grace, a quaint town with Victorian houses located in Harford County, MD offers a relaxing weekend where one can fish, boat, bird-watch or stroll on a boardwalk along the Susquehanna River which runs into the Chesapeake Bay.

To remind people of the importance of not polluting the Chesapeake Bay, there is a crab painted on the pavement next to a drainage. Protecting the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem helps to sustain the many habitats and wildlife organisms found there, and human activities such as fisheries, tourism etc.

There are many antiques shops lining along the Main street for antique collectors. Since Maryland is famous for making decoys for hunting ducks, there is a Decoy museum.

I found this signboard eye catching which served its purpose. There were two bronze sculptures of kids playing with bars outside MacGregor's Restaurant & Tavern where I had my lunch. The beef sandwich soaked in onion soup was marvelous.
