About Our Local Tourism Magazine 1998 - 2020
WRITER-PUBLISHER-QUESTER
Story Gatherer
An idea person, first and foremost, Ellie loves to share stories. Whether your story or her story, connections matter most.
Moving to Maryland, her next creative adventure was a tourism publication for the city of Havre de Grace. Lockhouse to Lighthouse, which later became Havre de Grace ~ the Meeting Place, a full-color magazine featuring articles highlighting local businesses, history, the arts, events, and community members. Residents and visitors alike were given a unique eye to all the community had to offer.
For several years, Ellie also gathered stories from locals who shared both their own stories and the spirit of the community.
With the arrival of the COVID-19 virus, many things changed. They changed quickly. The magazine closed.
Ellie is thrilled to share the local publication’s articles with everyone. And it fits perfectly with our casual historian’s, George Wagner, site for his Havre de Grace History MuZeum.
These articles may help fill in the gap of the last 20+ years!
Enjoy!
