The Concord Point Lighthouse was constructed of Port Deposit granite in 1827 at the mouth of the Susquehanna River. The original optics were 9 lamps with 16 inch reflectors. At the present it has fifth order fresnel optics. It was automated in 1920 and decommissioned in 1975. It is reputed to be the oldest continuously operated lighthouse in Maryland, the northernmost lighthouse in Maryland, and the second oldest lighthouse tower on the Bay. Photographed in 2001.
