Music at the Museum

Presented by Smith-Appleby House Museum at Smith-Appleby House Museum

Enjoy string quartet music, candlelight tours, wine, cheese, and more at the Smith-Appleby House’s presentation of “Music at the Museum.”

The Col ‘Areo Quartet will highlight the night, performing traditional string quartet music and featuring the museum’s newly restored 1897 chapel organ. Attendees will tour the museum by candlelight, and enjoy wine, cheese, and hors d’oeuvres — along with special soup shooters served at the hearth.

Volunteers from the Historical Society of Smithfield, dressed as and portraying Colonial-era characters, will host the evening.

The Smith-Appleby House, which dates to 1696, was built by Elisha Smith, the grandson of John Smith “The Miller,” a member of Roger Williams’ original party of six men who left the Massachusetts Bay Colony to settle in Providence. Expanded from its original construction as a one-room stone-ender cottage, the delicately restored 12-room historic farmhouse features beautiful cabinet work, varied architectural designs, original stencils, and furnished rooms showcasing an intriguing collection of antiques.
