Smithville Bus Trip
Welcome to Historic Smithville – a village that takes you back in time! What started as a simple, one-room stagecoach stop has blossomed over the last 50 years into a beloved destination for making memories. As you enter any of our 50 shoppes, you’ll feel the warm embrace of small-town hospitality and the charm of local businesses. Stroll along cobblestone walkways and over foot bridges, and discover a village that seems frozen in time.

When you get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays, plan a day at Smithville to slow it down, enjoy your family and be reminded of the simpler pleasures of the holidays. Smithville in December is just what your holidays need!

Trip cost includes coach bus transportation to and from Historic Smithville.
