Description:
Begun in 1775 and completed in 1785 by General John Neville an American military officer, land speculator, and tax collector, Woodville (the John & Presley Neville House) is among Southwestern Pennsylvania’s oldest surviving homes and the site of a pivotal skirmish in the infamous Whiskey Rebellion of the 1790s.
This National Historic Landmark, with its original house, reconstructed early 1800s barn, future interpretive cabin and reproduction still is the region’s principal link to the late 18th century, interpreting the time period of 1780-1825. It documents the lives of the three families that resided there, the Nevilles (1775-1815), the Cowans (1815-1835), and the Wrenshalls (1835-1975).

Woodville News
If you’ve been to Woodville, you know the iconic front porch with its decorative lattice. Like any older building, Woodville needs periodic maintenance. Right now, its graceful front porch is in desperate need of restoration and so we are seeking grants and donations to do this work for which the estimate is $42,000.
