The British encampment on the Keeper's House grounds
Fireworks by the lighthouse!
The British once again invaded Havre de Grace!
May 3, 4 and 5, 2013
It was a great weekend throughout the city and things were busy here at the Lighthouse and Keeper's House!
From cannons firing to concerts and fireworks, the Lighthouse presided over it all.
Perhaps the British will come again next year!
After more than a year of rehabilitation at the Maryland Conservation Lab, the War of 1812 cannon has been returned to Concord Point! We are excited to have it back, especially with the burning of Havre de Grace Bicentennial next May 3. The cannon marks the spot where John O'Neill singlehandedly fired on the British during their attack. John O'Neill was our first light keeper, in part because of his heroics that day.
Come take your photo with the cannon today!
