At the end of February, I visited Historic Smithville in Galloway Township. According to its website, “Smithville started as a simple, one room, stage coach stop. Over the last 50 years it has blossomed into a wonderful memory-making way to spend a day or two!”
Officially categorized as an unincorporated community and census-designated place, Smithville features a shopping village with 60 “shoppes,” the Historic Smithville Inn “where the simple dream of Smithville began,” and Lake Meone. A flock of domestic ducks and geese freely roam Smithville and swim in the lake, mingling with shoppers and diners.
