- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Westville. Westville Village, near Lumpkin in Stewart County in southwest Georgia, is "Georgia's Working 1850 Town." A living history museum, Westville conserves both the material and the intangible culture of 1827 to 1860. As the state's earliest major experiment in living history, Westville's interpretive strategy asks the visitor to "travel back in time" to the year 1850.
