Washington Street Books Celebrates 25 Years In Business

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD - Washington Street Books is celebrating 25 years of business in Havre de Grace and was recently recognized by Harford County during small business week for its contributions.

The bookstore opened in 1992 with a focus on books and antiques and has since expanded into records, comics, toys and games.

In the past year, Washington Street Books opened an "Entertainment Museum," which was its way of bringing Hollywood to Havre de Grace.

The museum contains original costumes worn in films such as The Hunger Games, Last Samurai and Baby Driver, including one donned by actor Kevin Spacey and another by Jon Hamm.

The store had 22 costumes on display as of mid September, when the Harford County Office of Economic Development stopped by to recognize the business for its milestone.

Washington Street Books & Music is located at 131 N. Washington Street in Havre de Grace.
