Standing at the confluence of the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay, Concord Point Light has guided mariners since 1827, making it one of Maryland’s oldest lighthouses. The granite tower was built following the town’s heroic defense during the War of 1812, honoring local hero John O’Neill, whose descendants served as keepers for over a century. Though no longer an active aid to navigation and currently closed to the public, the lighthouse remains a striking landmark best photographed during golden hour with the bay as backdrop. Visitors can explore the surrounding promenade, the adjacent Havre de Grace Decoy Museum, and the charming historic downtown, making this waterfront gem well worth the stop.
