  • Smithfield 1000 Smithfield Plantation Road Blacksburg, VA, 24060 United States (map)

Join us to welcome the first day of our 2023 Visit Season! Tour the Manor House, site and outbuildings, engage with our knowledgeable interpreters.

Onsite you can watch blacksmithing demos, and living history presentations.

Join us for a presentation at 11am from author Heather Cole.

“At Home with the Virginia Presidents” is an engaging armchair travel talk about the 8 Virginia-born presidents and the sites that shaped their lives. We will travel the state--from Staunton to Charles City and Wytheville to Winchester--to (virtually) visit the homes and historic sites of the Virginia presidents. Attendees will learn a bit about the presidents’ lives, take a peek inside their homes and get ideas for their next history road trip.

Her book, Virginia’s Presidents will be available for purchase in the Museum Store.
