Smithfield Virginia Real
Estate
Smithfield, Virginia is a quaint river-port town rich
in Hams, History, and Hospitality. Step onto Main Street
in our Historic District and step into a time long gone.
A time when people acknowledged each other by name,
the ice cream parlor was the center of every child's
universe, and Southern Hospitality was the un-written
rule. It's still here in Smithfield.
Smithfield is known as the "Ham Capital of the
World." Members of the English monarchy had standing
orders for Smithfield's famous hams prior to the Revolutionary
War. Smithfield Foods, headquartered here, is a Fortune
500 company.
There is much to see and do in our historic town and
county. Smithfield's Historic District Walking Tour
is a leisurely stroll and self-guided tour of this charming
town's 60 homes featuring Colonial, Federal, and Victorian
architecture. The Isle of Wight Museum offers Indian
artifacts, Civil War memorabilia, prehistoric fossils
from the nearby James River, and a re-created nineteenth
century country store. |
