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. 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. 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. 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.
