Smithland Farm, Greek Revival building in Mason County, West Virginia
Smithland Farm is a two-story frame house with weatherboard siding and a side-gabled roof located near Henderson in Mason County. The property encompasses several outbuildings that reflect the working needs of a rural homestead across different time periods.
The property was owned by General John McCausland until 1981, when the West Virginia Department of Agriculture took over stewardship for preservation. The block school building was constructed between 1915 and 1920 during an era of expanding rural education.
The property contains multiple structures including a corncrib from 1950, a silo from 1930, and the Poffenbarger Cemetery from the late 1900s.
The farm is located along U.S. Route 35 between Lower Nine Mile Road and Lower Five Mile Road, making it easy to spot from the highway. Visitors should plan to explore multiple buildings spread across the property to see the full scope of the site.
The property includes a Poffenbarger Cemetery dating to the late 1800s, preserving family burial grounds right on the farmstead. This burial site reflects how rural properties historically combined residence, work, and family heritage in one place.
