From the City of Havre de Grace:
The Bulle Rock Civic League along with the Museums from the City of Havre de Grace will host an afternoon of activities to introduce you to the City’s heritage. Bulle Rock Residents’ Club will be open to the public Saturday June 14th from 10 am – 2 pm giving families a chance to learn more about each Museum in Havre de Grace. Enjoy exhibits that feature the American folk art of decoy carving, the story of Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal, the history of the oldest continuously operational lighthouse in the State of Maryland, the region’s rich maritime heritage and learn more about the farming history in Harford County during the turn of the 20th century.
“I felt that many of our new residents as well as the public were in need of learning about the opportunities available at the museums and how they enrich our quality of life,” stated Bill Nichols resident of Havre de Grace and member of the Bulle Rock Civic League. “When I brought this idea to our committee they were all supportive in creating this partnership.” The Susquehanna Lock House Museum, Decoy Museum, Friends of the Concord Point Lighthouse, Maritime Museum, Steppingstone Farm Museum, and the Chesapeake Conservancy will all be on hand with activities and demonstrations for all to enjoy.

Let me get this straight, you need to have a special event to introduce your residents to museums that are in the city. Either they don’t care or the museums are lacking. I think the latter is the reason.
Isn’t “none says’ ” comment sad? Here the Bulle Rock Civic League is attempting to promote worthy community endeavors, and NS (or is it NB for “No Brain”) uses their initiative to put down both their effort and the museums themselves. I suspect our sorry friend has never visited any of these sites or indeed may never have visited any museum.
I applaud the Civic League and certainly these museums for their commitment to advancing the quality of life in Havre de Grace and all of Harford County. We are blessed with a county full of such organizations, including the Aberdeen Room Museum, Stepping Stone Museum, the Historical Society of Harford County, and Jerusalem Mills Village,
Right, this is all great, just don’t get confused and think Bulle Rock has anything to do with the “heritage” of Havre de Grace. I was from Havre de Grace long before it was cool to be from Havre de Grace. As for the “folk art of decoy carving”, I have a hard time venerating the greedy bastards that were responsible for the wholesale slaughter of millions of ducks for money… leaving us lucky to see a dozen in one place where the sky was once full. I have visited and enjoyed the other museums mentioned, though.
