Smithland Farm, also known as the General John McCausland Memorial Farm, is a historic home and farm located near Henderson, Mason County, West Virginia. The main house is a two-story frame structure constructed in 1869. The house is a side-gabled, two-story, weatherboarded frame structure with a two-story frame wing. The property includes a contributing corncrib (c. 1950), silo (c. 1930), pole barn (c. 1930s), barn (early 1900s), main barn (early 1900s), block school (c. 1915–1920), and Poffenbarger Cemetery (late 1900s). It was for many years part of a larger farm owned by Confederate General John McCausland. The West Virginia Department of Agriculture acquired the farm in 1981.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1]
