Views of the Smith-Appleby House and grounds.
Thank you for visiting the Smith-Appleby House Museum – Historical Society of Smithfield website.
AT THIS TIME, DUE TO THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK, WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE OPENING IN 2020. PLEASE CHECK BACK ON SEPTEMBER 1st, 2020, FOR ANY UPDATES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
We are a volunteer organization dedicated to maintaining the museum and its grounds, as well as collecting and preserving documents, photographs, and other items pertaining to local history for education and research purposes. Portions of our archival materials can be found under the “Smithfield History” menu on this website. This is an ongoing process, and new material is frequently added.
The Smith-Appleby House dates to circa 1696. This delicately restored and furnished farm house features beautiful cabinet work, stenciled walls, and other intriguing architectural details. A unique feature is the smoke room on the second floor — serviced by the huge fireplace in the keeping room. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places and has received the “Footprints in History” Award from the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council.
