Only about 40 minutes from home, we visit Historic Smithville, NJ frequently.
Located on Lake Meone, with sixty quaint shops, cobblestone paths,
several restaurants and a number of specialty historic buildings,
it is a great place to wander around for an afternoon.
The Village Greene has a cute train and carousel for the little ones.
It is a beautiful village filled with lot's of ducks and wildlife.
