SITE FOR A SMITHFIELD HISTORICAL MUSEUM?
The town's former water plant, vacant for years, stands beside the new Buffalo Creek Greenway not far from the site of Smith's Ferry, which gave birth to Smithfield more than 200 years ago. Too expensive to tear down (town officials say), the solid old structure might make an appropriate place for a Smithfield Museum of Local History, don't you think?
