historic smithonia farm
Our ceremony and reception will be held at Historic Smithonia Farm.
Address:
2289 Crawford Smithonia Road
Colbert, GA 30628
Established in the late 1800s, Smithonia (we were told to pronounce it as 'Smith-own- ya'), is a historic farm just outside of Athens that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The community began as the 30-square-mile plantation of James Monroe Smith, illustrious farmer, railroad developer and entrepreneur extraordinaire. The three brick barns on the property were once owned and renovated by Kenny Rogers (aka: "The Gambler') and historically have held everything from cotton bails to UGA's veterinary livestock.
