Westville

Westville is a living history museum which depicts an 1850 west Georgia village. Towns like Westville dotted the 1850s countryside in the southern United States. At Westville visitors can experience a community in the twenty-first century similar to the ones in which our ancestors lived in the middle of the nineteenth century. Westville has over thirty authentically furnished pre-Civil War buildings such as homes, stores, workshops, churches, courthouse and school; all the ingredients of a functioning town. Watch the woodworker fashion a stool from a tree. Watch the sparks fly from the blacksmith's anvil and wet clay rise to a pitcher in the potter's hands as he turns his wheel. Visitors can see where the antebellum townspeople worshiped, voted, and went to school. Smell the roses in the old-time gardens and taste hearth-cooked food. Townspeople are in 1850s dress and guests can talk with them about life in the old days.
