Spy Profiles: Paige Howard and Mount Harmon's Time Machine
Paige Howard might appear, at least in title, as the director of the historic Mount Harmon on the shores of the Sassafras River, but in reality the better term should be ringmaster. While taking full advantage of a 1730 manor house once owned by the Duponts, Paige has developed with her board of trustees over the last ten years a programming strategy the has successfully blended hiking trails for the 200 acre site, revolutionary war reenactments, and dozens of children programs aimed at allowing the experience of history at Mt Harmon to become alive for all who visit.
One of Paige's favorite parts of the Mt. Harmon experience is the two mile lane that all visitors must travel on to reach the estate. Affectionally calling it our time machine' the lane's long dirt road provides the guest a remarkable transition into the 18th Century.

Driving through the gate of Knights Island Preserve you are entering a very special place, one steeped in history and natural beauty. Two thirds of the Preserve is wooded and has many magnificent old growth trees. Knights Island containing 370+ acres with 22 Waterfront homesites, is the only gated community in Cecil County. There is a full-time manager whose home is immediately inside the gate. He provides security for the residents and maintains the Open Spaces. Lot #16 is a 4+ acre partial treed Waterfront lot facing Southeast with 438' of frontage on the Sassafras River with Open Space on its easterly border. Amenities include a deep water 40' boat slip with electric and water, boat storage facility for a 28' boat, and 250 acres of community Open Space. Knights Island is really a peninsula. The Sassafras River provides the southern and western boundaries while McGill, Dowdell and Back Creeks are the northern boundaries. Back Creek is home to Mount Harmon, one of the original plantations in Cecil County. Every year there is a Revolutionary War reenactment and festival at Mount Harmon. It is definitely worth your time to experience this event. Rodger Firestone ,of the Firestone Tire Company, was the latest owner of Knights Island and had plans to build his dream home there. Firestone had a 68' Trumpy Motoryacht, Tireless built in 1963 and kept it on Back Creek. Chesapeake City is but minutes away and provides many shops and restaurants to visit. While enjoying a meal along the Canal watch as the ships of the world pass by. The C& D Canal Museum is also a great way to understand the history of the Canal. An opportunity like this does not come along often so make an appointment to visit Knights Island Preserve today.
