The historic streets of Smithfield, Virginia are rich with examples of architecture of by gone eras. Stately federal homes, classic colonial structures, proud Georgian architecture, and colorful Victorian mansions pack the street corners with elegance and grace, their doorsteps rich with Virginia history. Taking the Genuine Smithfield Walking Tour is like stepping back in time, exploring homes preserved since the American Revolution, Civil War, Reconstruction era, and Industrial Revolution. As you tour the downtown, you can almost still hear the steamboats from Norfolk, the bells of merchantmen from Colonial Williamsburg, and other histories born on the banks of the James River.

This wonderful walking tour can be self-guided through either a brochure (available at the Smithfield Visitor Center) or a guided by making arrangements with the Visitor Center. Plan a tour for your friends, family, group or organization.
