Smithfield is home to the Red Brick School, a very popular stop during the Scenic Drive Fall Festival for its famous “chicken n’ noodles.” After the school closed, the building was purchased by Cass Township and transformed into a community center. The 1890s era Smithfield Bank, the small rectangular brick building on Main Street beside the railroad tracks, is home to the Harold Kee Welch Memorial Studio. Welch was a Smithfield native who achieved success during the mid-1900s as a sculptor, artist, and commercial illustrator. The gallery is open during Scenic Drive Fall Festival weekends in October.
