Westville is an open-air living history museum that transports visitors to a mid-19th-century Georgia village. Spread across 50 acres, it features over 30 historic buildings, including a courthouse, blacksmith shop, and log cabins. Costumed interpreters demonstrate traditional crafts such as weaving, pottery, and blacksmithing, and engage visitors in conversations about 1850s rural life. The museum emphasizes authenticity, with heirloom gardens and heritage livestock. Visitors can explore at their own pace, participate in hands-on activities, and gain a vivid sense of the past.
