Westville (Georgia)

Westville is an open air museum recreating an 1850 working town in Lumpkin, Georgia, United States.

There are over thirty authentically furnished genuine antebellum buildings and "townspeople" in period dress demonstrate woodworking, baking, pottery turning, blacksmithing, and other skills from the mid-1800s.

Westville was named for Col. John West, a history professor at North Georgia College in Dahlonega.
