The Village was located where West River Drive and Northland Drive now intersect. Dr. William Hyser built the house. Hyser was the Village doctor, clerk, justice of the peace, and school inspector.
At the open houses, visitors will be able to see artifacts and learn about the history of the house and the lost Village of Plainfield.
