A Community Built on Heritage and Hope
For nearly a century, Eagle Harbor has stood as a beacon of community strength and cultural preservation. One of the few waterfront resort communities open to African American families during the segregation era, our neighborhood continues to honor its founding principles while embracing the future for all.
Fostering civic participation, protecting our unique identity, and welcoming all who share our love of the Patuxent River and the traditions that make Eagle Harbor an irreplaceable part of Maryland's heritage.
