Smithfield is proud to present eight life-size statues of market hogs, painted by local artists to reflect an aspect of the town's rich history, culture & recreation. This public/private partnership uses the best known symbol of the "Ham Capital of the World" to celebrate the agricultural roots and cultural history of the Town of Smithfield. Donated by generous sponsors and selected by a jury of the Isle of Wight Arts League, these unique statues became permanent residents in June 2012. We invite you to stroll through our lovely town to savor each work of art. Pick up a map and brochure at the Visitor Center (319 Main Street).
