We visited Westville Village on their Homeschool Day, they had a lot of fun activities for the kids to try, from walking on stilts to making candles, but no guided tours. Should have packed a picnic lunch, by 12pm the little café was crowded and the two ladies were working very hard to try to keep up, but still the wait in line was very long. Wear closed toe shoes, the streets are not paved and your feet will get dirty. Bring water bottles, bug spray, and sunscreen. I am thinking about going back on a 'normal' day and taking some of the tours. It was a very interesting visit.

It was A great period themed attraction with many buildins and out buildings from the c 1850's.They have tour guides free to go from one area of information about the time period to another. Unfortunately when we went it did not have the "working" towns people there (in the winter). normally it would have blacksmiths, potters and the like working.

Westville is always fun. I've been going there on field trips for a long time. It is a little piece of history that everyone should take advantage of if you're in the Columbus, Georgia area. You'll love the fun stories and seeing how villages of the 1850s worked and looked. Definitely try the biscuits.

the buildings that make up Westville are going to be moved to Columbus, at some point in the future, where it is hoped they will be better visited than in Lumpkin, which is in the middle of nowhere. I went on a Friday and the place was nearly deserted. The number of employees has decreased to eight, which reflects the lack of visitors. It is a treasure for the State of Georgia. The previous review regarding the price of a bbq sandwich reflects the sad state of education in this State. Obviously the writer doesn't appreciate the unique nature of this collection of buildings and furniture of this vintage, something probably unique in the Southeast United States. What ever it takes to preserve this for sharing with future generations.

My family was camping at Florence Marina State Park over the long 4 day weekend (President's Day). Went down there to mainly visit Providence Canyon (which was awesome) and also visited Westville upon recommendation from the campground hosts. This place was amazing. It is in the middle of nowhere, but only 15 minutes from Providence Canyon. So if you are in the area to hike, then drive on over to Westville for a very pleasant surprise. This is a neat place. My kids ages 10-16 loved walking around and reading about the houses, stores, and structures. We spent about 3 hours there including lunch. We didn't do a character led tour, but the self guide was good enough and there are signs in many of the buildings giving you additional history. I'd highly recommend this place.

The folks at Westville are extremely friendly and helpful, and love to talk about history and their village. The village is set up extremely well - with signed streets, restored buildings, and outside areas for gardens, crafts etc. This was my second visit to Westville, and it was as enjoyable as the first. AS noted by others, the number of volunteers was down from my first visit, so that was a bit disappointing. A challenge, as with other sites, can be school group days when large numbers of children are going from site to site. They can be loud and can also impact your progress. However, if you can speak with someone about the "route" they will be taking through town, it's large enough that you can create a buffer for yourself - enabling you to converse well with the volunteers or simply just enjoy the birds and the pretty outdoors. Westville is located near Providence Canyon, a beautiful colorful "gully" not to be missed when you are in the area.

The home made gingerbread was awesome. sitting in the old church was a rewarding and spirtual experience. I especially enjoyed riding in the old horse drawn wagon. westville gave me a glimpse back into what living in the past must have been like. It was also a great experience for my grandsons.

Took my GS troop (aged 12-15) to Westville. The girls enjoyed walking around the town and being encouraged to experience some of life in 1840's. The guides were very knowledgeable and encouraged the girls to ask questions. They especially enjoyed the cobbler shop in which they actually got to emboss their own piece of leather. Would love to go back when they have one of their festivals. The cost was minimal and definitely worth the experience.

On a day trip when the kids were young. Someone suggested Westville. What in the world is that I said. You'll see they said. And we did! Wonderful city set in the 1800s. At christmas it's lovely too. All decorated. Informative and fun! Happy Trails! TheSocialSingle.com

We were there for their July 4th Celebration. My kids loved trying to climb the greased pole, bobbing for apples, and other games played in the mid 1800's. Some buildings are better maintained than others, but the signage is very informative. Be wary since some parts of buildings should have been roped off and weren't (the judge's bench in the courthouse was cracked - a fact I only noticed after my kids climbed up on it). If you like living history museums, they have done a pretty good job. If not, then skip it.
