Dover sits high above the Ohio River with big-sky views, brick-era architecture, and a friendly pace that makes everyday life feel comfortably unrushed. Tucked in Mason County, it’s a scenic hop to the amenities of Maysville and the riverfront boutiques of Augusta. Strolls along quiet streets often come with towboat sightings, and history buffs prize landmarks like the storied Dover Covered Bridge just outside town.
Families are served by Mason County Schools, and lifelong learners benefit from nearby Maysville Community and Technical College, where programs span healthcare, manufacturing, and business at Maysville Community and Technical College. For everyday needs and community events, the City of Maysville maintains a lively calendar, riverfront greenspaces, and helpful services that Dover residents regularly enjoy.
Weekends bring plenty of possibilities. Dive into regional history and handcrafted exhibits at the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center. Catch a film or concert under a gilded ceiling at the restored Russell Theatre. Bourbon heritage is close at hand with tours and tastings at Old Pogue Distillery, while a short riverside drive rewards film fans with memorabilia at The Rosemary Clooney House. Add in fishing nooks, quiet boat launches, and sunsets that light up the water, and Dover offers a satisfying blend of small-town ease and big-river scenery.
