The Plainfield Historical Society, a not-for-profit organization, is finalizing preparations for its CemeteryWalk 2013 event. 

The popular event—featuring five local residents from Plainfield’s past—will be performed on Sunday, Sept. 22, at the Plainfield Township Cemetery. The personal stories, based on extensive historical research, reflect historic events and traditions. 

Appropriate for anyone over the age of 12 years old, the society’s biennial fundraiser event is planned to be both educational and entertaining.
