Historic Smithfield is a charming 1774 plantation house located in Blacksburg, Virginia. The house was built by William Preston, a prominent Virginia politician and one of the earliest settlers of the area. The house was named after Preston's birthplace, Smithfield, in Northern Ireland.

The plantation house was constructed in a Georgian style and is made of brick. It has a central entrance with a fanlight and sidelights, and a prominent pediment above. The interior of the house is decorated with period furnishings, and visitors can explore the house and learn about the history of the property.

The plantation house is surrounded by beautiful gardens and grounds, which include a boxwood garden, a kitchen garden, and a formal garden. The property also includes a carriage house, a smokehouse, and a springhouse.

Historic Smithfield has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1970 and is now owned and operated by the Montgomery County Historical Society. The property is open to the public for tours and events, and it is a popular venue for weddings and other special events. It is an important part of the local history and a must-visit for anyone interested in Virginia's colonial past.
