Westville is a living history museum which depicts an 1850 west Georgia village... You may have seen pictures of little towns like Westville. They dotted the 1850s countryside in the southern United States.

We have created Westville so that you 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:

  • Homes
  • Stores
  • Workshops
  • Churches
  • Courthouse
  • School

In fact all the ingredients of a functioning town.

  • Watch the woodworker fashion a stool from a tree.
  • See wet clay rise to a pitcher in the potter's hands as he turns his wheel.
  • See where the antebellum townspeople worshipped, voted, and went to school.
  • Smell the roses in the old-time gardens.
  • See our hearth-cooked food.

Our townspeople are in 1850s dress and you can talk with them about life in the old days.

What's New!

  • More craft items made at Westville
  • New expanded inventory for your shopping pleasure
  • Lunches available daily in the Kiser House, catering for groups available (reservations required, call 1888-733-1850)
