SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE
CHARITY HOME TOUR
Now in its 29th year, the Smith Mountain Lake Charity Home Tour showcases eight spectacular lakeside homes in Franklin and Bedford counties—and it's all for a great cause. The three-day tour, October 11-13, 2019, is a truly collaborative community effort to raise funds for eight regional charities that provide critical services for those in need.
