The
Smith-Appleby House was built, circa 1696, as a one-room stone-ender with a loft
by Elisha Smith, a grandson of John “The Miller" Smith — one of Roger William’s
original party of six men who left the Massachusetts Bay Colony to settle in
Providence. Later generations of the family expanded the House to 12 rooms.
Today, the House and grounds are a living Museum. Volunteers portraying
Colonial-era characters conduct tours and demonstrations depicting life during
the Revolutionary War. The historic House Museum features original furnishings,
designs and exhibits — and hosts public events and activities year-round. Coming
up: a Gingerbread Baking Day in October, Colonial Dinners in November, and
Holiday Celebrations with Santa & Mrs. Claus in December.
The
house is headquarters to The Historical Society of Smithfield.
