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).
