The Home of John and Presley Neville, circa 1780
Woodville, the John and Presley Neville house, is Southwestern
Pennsylvania’s principal link to the late 18th century, interpreting the time period of 1780-1820 and documenting the lives of the
three families that resided there, the Nevilles (1775-1815), the
Cowans (1815-1835), and the Wrenshalls (1835-1975).
