The YMCA provides for public swimming, swimming lessons, summer camps for children, swim team, exercise center and daycare. The gym here is small and does not have air conditioning. Usually it is geared toward older residents. The pool has been renovated and is up to standard. There is a large playground outside and basketball courts. There are also volleyball courts.
This historic house was built in 1696, it is a house museum and is home to the Smithfield Historical Society. Elish Smith, grandson of one of Rhode Island’s co-founders, John Smith, built it. Tours are available on scheduled days, otherwise they are done by appointment. When major events are held here, the Smithfield Historic Society dresses up in colonial garb and gives tours to the public.
