Historic Westville

Where History Comes to Life

Historic Westville is a museum of Southern history and culture representing the diversity of the Southern Experience. Our mission is to tell the stories of all southern peoples including European Americans, African Americans, Native Americans, and immigrants; how their lives were inextricably linked but their experiences diverse due to race, class, and gender.

Through the use of exhibits, interpreters, food, and crafts, visitors will learn about life in the 19th century South. Visitors will also see how major historical events affected the region and became part of the personal experiences of those who called the 19th century South home.
