Graw Alley History Murals and Racing Displays

In an empty space between two buildings at Harmers Town Art Center is a grassy park that is surrounded by murals featuring interesting facts about the proud and sordid history of Havre de Grace, including its connection to horse racing. Most notable is the sculpture of a starting gate with four horses and jockeys called "And they're off," which is visible from the road.
