Smith McDowell House Museum is the oldest brick home in Asheville, NC. Built in the 1840s it was the home of wealthy business man James Smith, then of his son-in-law and Civil War veteran William W. McDowell. It was later home to a mayor, friends of George Vanderbilt, a distinguished doctor and a movie industry executive.
Museums and cultural venues participate in Museum Day voluntarily. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for individual museum content or participation.
