You should pair this spot up with Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife Refuge which is just down the street. You can head out photographing birds and then stop here for something to eat and then do a little more photography. You don’t want to miss a shot of the train. As you can see, it does make a cool picture. Smithville Village Photography will take an hour or two unless you stick around for some night photography.
They hold festivals here such as the Renaissance Fair which you can get some fresh shots or even practice your photography. Take a look at the images below of The Historic Smithville Village Photography.
