About Graw Alley Interactive Mural Park
A Celebration of Art, History & Community
Opened in October 2023, Graw Alley Interactive Mural Park is the outdoor arts and heritage destination of Harmer's Town Art Center and the gateway to its future regional arts campus.
​
Spanning nearly one acre, the park features almost 40 building-sized murals and a growing collection of public arts sculptures created by talented local and regional artists. Together, these works celebrate more than 400 Yeats of Havre de Grace's rich history, culture, and community.
​
More than an outdoor gallery, Graw Alley is an interactive experience where visitors can explore, learn, and connect by scanning QR codes that reveal the stories behind each mural. Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning, Graw Alley offers a unique way to experience the creativity, history, and welcoming spirit of Havre de Grace.

Graw Alley at Harmer's Town
Our Humble Beginnings
​The one-acre space - a private alley donated to Harmer’s Town Art Center, Inc. and named in recognition of the former horse racing track that operated in the city for over 40 years until the early 1950’s - was transformed from an underused alley into a park with landscaped pathways, artistic sculptures, outdoor seating, and a series of vivid murals leading visitors on a tour through Havre de Grace history.
