Historic Smithville
A lakeside village in colonial style with more than 60 boutiques, restaurants and an 1787 historic inn, ideal for a half-day stroll.
Historic Smithville is in Galloway, about 20 km northwest of Atlantic City. It is centred on the Smithville Inn, which opened in 1787. Along the shore of Lake Meone are many wooden buildings in 18th- and 19th-century style, housing antique shops, craft shops, candy shops and restaurants. You can rent pedal boats for the lake, or ride a miniature train or a carousel. Holidays, especially the Christmas season, bring light displays and markets, and weekends are busier. Admission to the village is free.
