Historic Smithville NJ

If you’re looking for quaint this is the place.

Smithville is a colonial village featuring 60 specialty shops and a host of eateries.

It was founded in 1787 but fell on hard times and eventually became an abandoned stagecoach stop

The village is divided by Lake Meone

Just $3 a ride. All Aboard!

The porch of The Barn, part of the Colonial Inn. The rooms are a throwback to the motif of the 1700s.

Historic Smithville found new life in 1952 when a local couple acquired the property just 12 miles from Atlantic City and renovated it, clearing the way for it becoming a year round attraction today.
