About Plainfield

Plainfield is a quiet, tight-knit village of around 900 people tucked into the farm country of central Wisconsin. Located right along Interstate 39 in Waushara County, it gives residents an unhurried, small-town lifestyle while keeping larger hubs like Stevens Point within an easy 25-minute drive. The community started in the mid-1800s when founders offered free plots of land to early builders, and that down-to-earth character still runs deep.

Walk down Main Street and you will find pieces of that heritage everywhere, from vintage brick storefronts to the century-old Opera House. The surrounding countryside is filled with open fields and family farms, while the neighborhood streets offer affordable homes and a relaxed pace. For anyone looking to trade city traffic for starry skies, welcoming neighbors, and simple Midwestern charm, Plainfield makes it easy to feel at home.
