Our History
Welcome to the William Smith Inn bed and breakfast!
William Smith was a Philanthropist, Astronomer, Spiritualist, Nurseryman, and Women’s rights activist. He was the founder of William Smith College.
After careful and dedicated renovations, the doors opened to guests in June 2009. Designed by renowned architect Andrew Jackson Warner, this Italianate home features quarter-cut white oak floors with black walnut inlay, monstrous chestnut doors, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
Whether you are visiting Hobart & William Smith Colleges, attending a Finger Lakes wedding, exploring one (or many) of the local trails, or discovering your new favorite winery, the William Smith Inn is a perfect launching point to visit the Finger Lakes region.
