History of Windsor Castle Park and The Manor House
Located in the heart of downtown Smithfield, Windsor Castle Park is a 208-acre overlooking the Pagan River and Cypress Creek. Windsor Castle Farm was originally part of a 1450 acre parcel patented in 1637 by Arthur Smith, an ancestor of the town's founder, Arthur Smith IV.
The Manor House started being built in the 18th Century by Arthur Smith III. The Smith Family continued to build onto the house and develop the property until Arthur Smith V sold the property to Watson P. Jordon in 1838.
Watson P. Jordon then added the 2nd story porches, increased the size of the basement and added stucco to the house. Jordon’s son M. Filmore Jordon then sold the house to Jeremiah Johnson in 1884. During Jeremiah Johnson’s ownership was the first time that the property was called “Smith track of Windsor Castle.”
In 1917 Charles Bett purchased the farm from his father-in-law and in 1942 his son Charles Betts jr. inherited the farm. In 1979 Charles Betts jr. then retired to the farm and renovated the Manor House.
Then in May 2010 Mr. Joseph W. Luter III, founder and former CEO of Smithfield Foods purchased 208 acres of the original property including the Manor House and donated it to the Town of Smithfield to be turned into a park.
Since then the Town of Smithfield and the Windsor Castle Park Foundation have worked to make the park what it is today. Including the most recent project which was the full renovation of the Manor House and the outbuildings in the park which began January 2017.
Bringing us to 2020 with the renovations now complete and a new journey beginning as we get to share our amazing history and event space with the world!
