Isle of Wight County Museum Smithfield VA 2010
Wile visiting Meg's brother and family, we traveled to Smithfield, VA. There we found The Isle of Wight County Museum. It was founded in 1976 by a group of volunteers dedicated to the preservation of county history. Interpreting local history, the museum's exhibits include prehistoric fossils, Native American and Colonial artifacts, a country store and displays regarding the ham industry and perhaps the museum's most notable artifact: the world's oldest, edible cured ham Isn't that interesting.
