Who we Are

Genuine Smithfield is the
Real Deal

Smithfield is a small town with lots of heart and so much to love: the ham that made Smithfield famous; the picturesque Main Street with shops you just canʹt pass up; historic architecture from Colonial to Victorian gingerbread and from Federal to Gothic cottages (and the history to go along with them!); and an impressive array of mouthwatering restaurants; a vibrant arts and cultural scene; handcrafted local wine, brew and spirits; boutique accommodations to write home about; a waterfront vantage point; stunningly beautiful pastoral landscapes and the gracious charm and Southern hospitality of its locals. Stay for an hour, a day, or a weekend ... and youʹll feel like a local before you leave.
