Westville Village

Westville Village is located at Singer Pond Road in Lumpkin, Georgia and is approximately five miles from Columbus. The village is essentially a living history museum that takes visitors back to how life would have been back in mid 19th century West Georgia. The village is open to visitors from 10am to 5pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday throughout the year except New Year's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

There are three 20 minute tours offered here that provide visitors with an insight into different aspects of life during this period. The tours are conducted by costumed guides who will show people around the houses and other important buildings that can be found in this historic village. As an addendum, visitors can learn about the families who lived in the village and some of the activities that took place here in the mid 1800s.

School tours are offered where students also learn about slavery, business, transportation and farms in the area amongst other things. The Kiser House Restaurant in the village is open from 10am to 4.30pm Thursday to Saturday. There is seating inside for 48 people as well as on the restaurant's porch and at picnic tables in the yard. Visitors can buy souvenirs such as toys, books and crafts from the village gift shop.
