Discover Westover, Maryland: Somerset County's Quiet, Unexpected Side

Just inland from the coast, Westover represents the quiet, agricultural heart of Somerset County. Defined by miles of farmland and open country roads, life out here moves with an easy, unhurried grace. It is a place where the landscape opens up, inviting you to slow down and discover a different side of Eastern Shore living, one rooted in quiet country lanes, simple outdoor pleasures, and deep community roots.

Championship Golf and Bayside Solitude

For those who love the game, Westover is home to Great Hope Golf Course, a spectacular 7,000-yard links-style championship course. Unpretentious and beautifully maintained, it offers an exceptional, fast-paced round of golf paired with a welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere that finishes perfectly with a cold drink at the Caddy Shack. If you prefer the water, follow Revells Neck Road down to Raccoon Point Park. This quiet, tucked-away county park offers a serene stretch of bayside beach, a soft launch for kayaks, and a peaceful pavilion built for watching the ripples on the sound while the kids play on the grass.

Preserving Local History at the Rusty Rooster

The stories of our region are kept alive at the Rusty Rooster Antique Mall on Curtis Chapel Road. Spanning over 8,000 square feet, this local treasure is packed with authentic pieces of Eastern Shore history, from vintage maritime gear and hand-carved waterfowl decoys to retro collectibles. Spend a slow afternoon browsing the well-stocked aisles, then pull up a stool in their nostalgic 1950s diner lounge to relax and reflect on the day.

Sometimes the best discoveries are the ones you weren't expecting to find. Come for a peaceful afternoon, a great round of golf, and a genuine taste of our countryside. You'll leave already planning your next visit.
