About the Drive

To accomplish these objectives, the Westville History Alive Drive has been organized.

The goal is a $8 million from private sources, to be used to:

  • Construct a Visitors Center to improve programming and amenities for visitors
  • Improve conservation practices and care for all objects in the collection
  • Install a slave house, a millhouse, and millpnd in the Village and develop interpretation for each location
  • Open and interpret several existing Village buildings currently only viewable from the outside
  • Enhance accessibility to all buildings without disrupting the Westville ethos
  • Offer additional basic services, such as water fountains, restrooms, and minimal climate control that will help lengthen the visitor's stay
  • Purchase contiguous lands to be used as a buffer between the historic Village and the modern world
  • Upgrade staff salaries and benefits, allowing Westville to attract and maintain superior employees
  • Advance the Westville organization to a new level operationally, professionally, and artistically by increasing the endowment.

"We served on Westville's Board during its earliest days in the 1960s and still consider it to be a national treasure. We hope you will support the campaign to make Westville even stronger."
President Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter
Campaign Honorary Chairs
