About

Where Bay Life Begins.

The Havre de Grace Maritime Museum, Inc. is celebrating 30 years of honoring our regional maritime legacy.

Story

The Havre de Grace Maritime Museum is situated where the Susquehanna River meets the Chesapeake Bay. It tells the story of this region’s rich maritime heritage. Teeming with numerous species of flora and fauna and having highly navigable waters, this unique environmental setting has been the perfect backdrop for generations of inhabitants - from the earliest Native Americans over 10,000 years ago, to the first European colonists in the 1600s, to today’s thriving community of the 21st century.

Our mission is to collect, preserve, document and interpret the Upper Chesapeake Bay and Lower Susquehanna River Valley.

The Museum will be closed and scheduled events canceled for inclement weather (e.g. hurricanes and snow/ice storms). Please call ahead for a recorded voicemail.

Another sensational Havre De Grace museum. This one is so well organized, clean and laid-out that it only adds to the wonderful collection they have to exhibit. From early Native American inhabitants to the nautical history of the area, these well designed exhibits do justice to their themes. The readings placed with the exhibits are not too lengthy and they are helpful. The artifacts are in excellent condition as well. A really good thing to do in the town. Very cheap.

Love this place. Come visit this small but we'll kept and displayed museum. Watch folks working on boats, go to a program at the new educational center or go for live music.

This was an interesting museum. Learned about the significant duck hunting in the area in earlier years. Learned about Ice harvesting and storage from the bay waters.

Really nice, small maritime museum, when I visited (1/15/17) it had a great exhibit about Capt. John Smith's exploration of the Northern Bay looking for the Northwest passage it had a lot of very interesting information about the state of Native American Civilization at the time of his contact. Many well made models of skipjacks and other working vessels of the Chesapeake Bay, that they use as centerpieces to help explain the various ways that people worked and played during the heyday of the working Chesapeake.
