We invite you to visit charming and historic Smithville, Texas, the first “Film Friendly” city in the state as designated by the Texas Film Commission. Smithville is quickly becoming a hub of movie industry activity while staying true to its thriving arts community composed of painters, sculptors, photographers, and numerous other creative mediums. 

 

Smithville is also a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts, whether they prefer biking, hiking, kayaking, bird-watching, or running. Our historic downtown touts not only beautiful architecture but also unique shopping opportunities and informed shopkeepers who will assist you personally in finding a handmade gift or a rare antique. 

Whether you choose to take a trip down the beautiful Colorado River (which is clearly visible from the end of Main Street), surf the internet (all of downtown is a Wi-Fi hotspot), or take a trip through history (our Railroad Museum is open six days a week), Smithville is where you ought to find yourself!
