Historic Smithton Inn

06/18/2026

Some of the best times happen when we return to our past!
Our historic inn is a perfect example. Less than a half hour from the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire we're a perfect place to stay after a day of events. Take advantage of our Weathered Vineyards Ephrata Tasting Room & Wine Bar right on the main floor, and the excellent Main Street of downtown Ephrata 😎

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
Announcing the 2026 Cast of the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire!
The Shire is thrilled to officially welcome the exceptional cast for the 2026 Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. From breathtaking stunts and roaring comedies to full-contact jousting and musical merriment, this year’s ensemble is set to make history. https://parenfaire.com/faire.html

Every once in a while it's good to look up! You never know what you might see 🥰🕊️👀

Our doves logo comes from our own building architectural details: "The Doves of Peace raining love upon the earth" is written right into our building walls. For this weekend's Memorial Day Remembrance for those who have served and are serving, for those we love and miss, we can only hope for more of it in the world right now 🙏☮💟🌎🕊.
