Annual Events

Guilty or Innocent?  What is the verdict?  Our Court Day Event brings to life a colonial court room.  Those who attend the reenactment observe a real court case that was tried in the 1750 Isle of Wight County Courthouse during the 18th Century.

Headed into town for the holidays? Swing by and check out Christmas in Smithfield! The 1750 Courthouse and Windsor Castle Manor travel back in time to show you how Christmas was celebrated by our town's founders over 200 years ago.

Would you like to meet ghosts from Smithfield? Our Ghost Walk gives all attendees an opportunity to walk through the historic town of Smithfield and meet interesting citizens from Smithfield's past. 

After you get your fill of shopping, eating and drinking downtown, head to the 1750 Isle of Wight Courthouse for the afterparty. With a $10 donation you get snacks, cash beer/wine, a DJ, raffle, costume party, fortune tellers and more! Perfect for those that aren't quite satisfied with a bed time in the single digits.

The 1750 Courthouse participates in a range of community events during the year.  In the past we have been involved in The King Arthur Pie Contest, numerous parades, and the Wine Festival.
