Concord Point Light, Historic lighthouse in Havre de Grace, Maryland
The 36-foot granite lighthouse stands at the point where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay, featuring walls that measure 31 inches at the base.
Built in 1827, John O'Neill, who defended the town during the War of 1812, served as the first keeper of this navigation aid until 1838.
The lighthouse and keeper's house now function as museums, presenting exhibits about maritime navigation and the history of the Chesapeake Bay region.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds daily, with guided tours available on weekends from April through October, including demonstrations of historical navigation methods.
The structure contains its original granite blocks from Port Deposit quarry and maintains an active fifth-order Fresnel lens as a private navigation aid.
