Our Story
The Concord Point Lighthouse was given to the City of Havre de Grace in 1977. It fell into a severe state of neglect and was eventually burglarized with loss of the original 5th order Fresnel lens.
In 1979, amid calls for the destruction of the Lighthouse, three separate individuals, Anna Long, Arnie Stackhouse, and Jane Jacksteit, visited City Hall to raise concern for the historic structure. Paula Lowe, a Maryland Historical Trust staffer working at the request of Mayor Charles Montgomery, arranged for them to meet. They agreed to form a citizen’s group to save the Lighthouse.
Joined by Al Marini and Lois Crandall, they founded The Friends of Concord Point Lighthouse in June 1979 and received stewardship rights to the Lighthouse. Their mission was to restore the Lighthouse and preserve it for future generations.
