Smithfield Plantation

SMITHFIELD PLANTATION:
Built in 1774 as the home of William Preston, his wife Susanna Smith Preston, and their seven children, the original building stands today as a living history museum. Donated by Janie Preston Boulware Lamb in 1959 to the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA), today Smithfield serves as a museum of the westward expansion, and site of numerous living history weekend events.
