Smith Island

Ewell is one of the fishing villages on Smith Island. It has been home to watermen and their families for over three centuries.

Martin's National Wildlife Refuge features exhibits about wildfowl and their migration patterns. The protected coves and aquatic grasses provide excellent winter habitat for migratory waterfowl such as black ducks, pintail, mergansers, long-tailed ducks, scoters, bufflehead, Canada geese, and tundra swans.

The Smith Island Center has exhibits that present the history of the island, the role of women on the island and distinctive speech patterns as well as tourist information and a genealogy database.

The William B Mullins Education Center offers field trips about the Smith Island and its inhabitants.
