About Historic Westville
Kids, we know you LOVE the history books, but do you know one thing that's better than reading about history? Living it!
Historic Westville is a living history museum that transports you back to a west Georgia village as it was in 1850. Warning kids, it might be slightly different from what you're used to today!
Historic Westville was created so that families just like yours can experience a community in which your ancestors lived in the middle of the nineteenth century. As you explore, you'll be amazed at over 30 authentically furnished pre-Civil War buildings that will really make you feel like you're living over 150 years ago, including homes, general stores, churches, a courthouse, and even a school.
Kids can get those imaginations flowing as they roam around the Pioneer Village and learn exactly what the Antebellum Period was all about. They can see a blacksmith in action, check out a print shop, and even discover how 19th-century boots were made!
Don't miss talking to the 'townspeople' who are all dressed in 1850s attire. You can chat with them about life in the old days and ask all the questions you want!
What's also great about Historic Westville is that regular admission includes a character-guided tour, so you can truly absorb everything around you and build a complete picture of what life would have been like in another century.
Kids, are you ready to step back in time over 150 years and experience Georgia life from a whole different perspective? Historic Westville is waiting for YOU!
