Circa 1870 - This building was a very necessary structure before electricity was available, meat was preserved by smoking with oak or hickory wood. Meat such as pork, beef and mutton was stored for over a year in the Smoke House. It was originally located on the Atwood Farm which was a large farm of over 500 acres. This farm is near Hanes Mall and originally operated as a dairy farm which sold milk and butter under the name of "Atwood Stock Farm". This building was donated by Albert Atwood and Emily Atwood Cheek.
