Graceham is an unincorporated community and a census-designated place (CDP) in Frederick County, Maryland, United States. Graceham is home to Graceham Moravian Church and Parsonage. Per the 2020 Census, the population was 243.[3] In 1973, Graceham began experiencing atypical waves of mass migration of millions of starlings, grackles and other birds which caused environmental damage and distress to residents.[4] The Maryland Forestry Department removed 30-40% of the local pine grove in an attempt to curb the "invasion" of birds, which reduced the migration the following year.[5] However, the solution was not permanent. In 1977, residents and expert witnesses testified before the Senate Economic Affairs Committee in support of legislation that would enable more effective interventions.[6]
