When COVID-19 kept The Smith Opera House from hosting our on-site the history tours, we brought the history tour to you with The Ghost Light Tours.

Created and hosted by HWS Professor & Smith History Blog editor Chris Woodworth, The Ghost Light Tours allows you to view The Smith’s hidden gems from the comfort of your own home. In this eleven part video series, Woodworth brilliantly combines story telling with historic photos and records to highlight The Smith Opera House’s 125 year old history.
