The tour will include several stops along the two highways as well as some stops in between! The tour will start with US 40 (as well as parts of MD 7) and go from Havre de Grace to Joppa. Then we will travel on back roads to get to US 1 (which includes a visit to the Jericho Covered Bridge!) We will take US 1 and US 1 Business from Fallston to the Conowingo Dam. Then, as we return to Havre de Grace, we will stop in Susquehanna State Park to see the original toll house and crossing across the Susquehanna River.
