Reviews of Westland Historic Village Park
"Perfect for photos."
"Really good display about the Eloise. Octagon house is cool too."
"It's taken care of very well. Some People dive dirt bikes and jeeps in the back."
"Great tour. Great workers. I enjoyed my Haunted Tour."
"The Westland Historical Village is an attraction that is both very useful and important. There are picnic facilities here and a nearby path. It is enjoyable to visit as a pass time. It is a wonderful backdrop to any outdoor party. Some of the buildings are available to hire for weddings and other events. The barn and two of the buildings are undergoing continuing renovations. The house referred to as the ‘Octagon House’ is a beautiful specimen of Americana. It brings back memories of small town American life which was actually big time. These were the homes of the people who owned and worked the land. They were homesteads and functional as well as being ‘home’ to the hard working families that lived in them and used them. The clapboard houses and wooden frames stand as testimony to the strong work ethic of the people who lived in them as well as the time honored and proven methods of construction. They are warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It would be great to see modern architects, builders and craftsmen and women revisit these designs and materials to allow us to take advantage of these energy saving, attractive and useful structures in today’s developments. Inside the buildings are period pieces and inventions of the past. My favorite is the Eureka vacuum cleaner which sits quietly on of the porches. Eureka had its headquarters near here and was a leading manufacturer and inventor during its heyday. Along with the buildings is convenient parking and easy access from Wayne Road. It is well situated. The picnic tables and open space invite children, and everyone, to play and take their ease with hot dogs and towering glasses of lemonade in the summer months. During the cool of the year the houses and barns are back dropped by colorful leaf blankets from the nearby woods. The winter brings hot cocoa and marshmallows and the quiet and cold of a winter spent celebrating Christmas and all holidays during the turn of the year."
