• Sleighs, cars and even trains once crossed the frozen Susquehanna [from the archives] (centredaily.com) — Havre de Grace appears here as a key landmark on the lower Susquehanna, where the river once froze solid enough for sleighs, cars, and even temporary railroad tracks between Perryville and town. The story looks back at 18th–20th century winters when people skated, farmed ice, and even drove across the frozen river, contrasting those dramatic scenes with today’s milder, less predictable conditions.
