Things to Do

Heritage Center WWII Exhibit of artifacts and photos, located in Smithfield, NC. When you aren't shopping in Smithfield we suggest visiting a couple of museums in downtown, the Ava Gardner Museum and the Johnston County Heritage Center. If you are in Downtown and you like walking tours, pick up the Smithfield Walking Tour brochure to learn more about the architecture, family history homes, and the people that founded Smithfield, in 1777.
