This section is not so much about Smithville as about our organization and how you can be a part of it and show your support for the ongoing work going on at Smithville.
The H.B. Smith Industrial Village Conservancy is a non-profit organization established to support the Burlington County Freeholders in their efforts to preserve and restore the once thriving village of Smithville, a 19th Century Company Town, and to develop the County Park at Smithville. In addition to its fund-raising activities, the Conservancy works to promote interest in Smithville as an historic, cultural, educational and recreational center.
Its headquarters are located on the grounds of Burlington County's Smithville Park in the historic Semple Cottage at 801 Smithville Road.
Established in 1997, the Conservancy is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees consisting of citizens of Burlington County selected because of their leadership qualities, their interest in local history and historic preservation, and their support of the recreational potential of the natural resources of this historic property. The Board functions in cooperation with the Burlington County Parks Department, the Burlington County Division of Cultural Affairs and Tourism, and the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
