SMITHFIELD-PRESTON FOUNDATION


  • Mission

    Historic Smithfield seeks to inspire a new generation of Americans through the stories and values of the Preston Family and all those who lived at Smithfield. These values are liberty, courage, leadership, education, and justice.

    About Us

    Historic Smithfield, located right next to Virginia Tech, and just off of US 460, is seeking volunteers and student volunteers for multiple service opportunities this season. Smithfield is a plantation house outside Blacksburg, Virginia, built from 1772 to 1774 by Col. William Preston to be his residence and the headquarters of his farm.

    It was the birthplace of two Virginia Governors: James Patton Preston and John B. Floyd. The house remained a family home until 1959 when the home was donated to the APVA.
