History
Founded in the 1820s, Weverton was a speculative venture intended to be a mill town to take advantage of the waterpower of the nearby Potomac River and transportation provided by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The community was the creation of Caspar Wever, who at one time was the chief construction engineer for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and a specialist in masonry arch bridges, some of which still stand in use.

Nothing Else Matters
by: OvertoneFrom the way she wears her hair,
To the polish on her feet,
I know she's what I need.
And everywhere I go,
I can't help but let it show, I'm in love.
Oh no no,
My world keeps spinning going round and round
Girl I'm just sitting trying to figure out,
What I'm to do cause I'm just passing time,
You're all I've got on my mind.
So I forget what I gotta do,
Cause nothing else matters when I'm with you.
All the money in the world just won't do,
Cause your love is priceless girl,
And nothing else matters but you.
No, no nothing else matters,
No, no nothing else matters,
No, no nothing else matters,
Nothing else matters but you.
You got me smilin while I'm sitting at work,
Cause I love the way you wear my shirt,
It's the things you do girl.
Please don't wake me up if this is a dream,
Just let me sleep.
Oh, my world keeps spinning going round and round
Girl I'm just sitting trying to figure out,
What I'm to do cause I'm just passing time,
You're all I've got on my mind.
So I forget what I gotta do,
Cause nothing else matters when I'm with you.
All the money in the world just won't do,
Cause your love is priceless girl,
And nothing else matters but you.
