The Old Isle of Wight Courthouse, constructed between 1750 and 1751, served as the primary courthouse for Isle of Wight County, Virginia until 1800. This historical building, located in the town of Smithfield, was the center of life in the county and the town during its 50 years of operation. It was replaced by a new courthouse in 1800, marking the end of its official use as a courthouse.

The 1750 Isle of Wight Courthouse, a semi-independent committee within Historic Smithfield, is responsible for the ongoing maintenance and restoration of the Old Isle of Wight Courthouse. This committee ensures that the building is open to the public year-round, free of charge, allowing visitors to explore and appreciate the historical significance of the courthouse.
