Smith's Castle, Colonial house in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, US.
The rectangular wooden structure stands near Wickford village, featuring American colonial architecture with traditional New England construction methods and materials.
Richard Smith established a trading post on this land in 1637, which developed into the current house built in 1678 after Native Americans burned the original structure.
The property contains archaeological remains of early European and Native American interactions, including artifacts from the Narragansett people who originally inhabited the area.
The museum at 55 Richard Smith Drive opens Thursday through Sunday from May to October, offering guided tours that explain colonial life in Rhode Island.
The property holds evidence of the earliest European trading settlement in Narragansett territory and includes burial grounds of 40 soldiers from King Philip's War.
