About the Smith-Appleby House Museum
The Smith-Appleby House Museum in Smithfield, RI, began as a one-room
stone-ender with a loft above. It was built (circa 1696) by Elisha Smith, the
grandson of John Smith “The Miller," and a member of Roger William’s original
party of six men who left the Massachusetts Bay Colony to settle in Providence.
Today, the House is on the National Register of Historic Places and is open for
tours during scheduled events or on request. The House and grounds are available
for wedding receptions, showers, ceremonies, family outings, scouting events,
and photographs. For more information, visit
