During our travels, we recently stopped in exquisite Smithfield, Virginia.
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 can’t pass up; historic architecture from Colonial to Victorian gingerbread and from Federal to Gothic cottages (and the history to go along with them!); and impressive array of mouth-watering 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.
We were particularly charmed by the town's stately homes -- many in the colorfully-trimmed Victorian style but really (just as the town boasts) styles encompassing various types of architecture. Indeed, the town has been around since 1752. We were blessed with beautiful, sunny weather. Enjoy our photos!
