Built some 25 years before H.B. Smith's arrival in Burlington County , the Greek Revival mansion symbolizes in its buildings and gardens the complexity of its most famous owner.
Among the special events held at Smithville in the past was the popular "H.B. Smith Mystery Dinner Theater". For five years, original plays based on real events and situations at Smithville during the Smith Era were offered to the public.
Another annual event offered to the public was the Smithville-Mt. Holly Grand Prix, a fundraising event related to Smithville's connection to the bicycle industry through the production of the Star Bicycle.
