According to Mitch Shank, Chair of the Arts and Entertainment Committee for Main Street and organizer of the tours, people can expect a “neat little walk.”
With local guides adding their own personal flare and dressed in time-period costumes, you’ll be swept up into the fun of yesterday. You’ll go back in time to 1608 when Captain John Smith discovered this small slice of heaven, and learn about the buildings, street names and famous citizens of past and present Havre de Grace.
