The historic Smith Barn is situated on a picturesque hilltop surrounded by two hundred and fifty acres of orchards and conservation land. Located at the Felton-Smith Historic Site adjacent to Peabody’s Brooksby Farm, the Smith Barn is the perfect setting for your special day. Rich in beauty and significance, the site represents over three centuries of the region’s history and is home to several historic landmarks.

Ample parking is available, and the first floor of the barn is wheelchair accessible. Smith Barn is available for rent from mid-April through November. The Felton-Smith Historic Site is located just 2 miles from Interstate 95 and Routes 1, 128, and 114.

 

 

Main Room

The meticulously restored Smith Barn features charming country ambience and modern amenities. Dine and dance in the spacious main room, which comfortably accommodates groups of up to 240 people. The Smith Barn has air-conditioning and heat. 

Woodland Gardens

The Peabody Historical Society’s Woodland Gardens, located behind the historic Nathaniel Felton Junior House (directly across the street from the Smith Barn), is an idyllic setting for your wedding ceremony. The tranquil beauty of the Woodland Gardens is evident year-round, from the perennial blooms in the spring and summer to the rich hues of the foliage in the fall.
