Plainfield Township Farmers' Grove
With the help of many volunteers the Plainfield Township Farmers' Association has held an annual old time country fair at the grove during the month of July for over 60 years. Fair exhibits include cattle, sheep, fowl, vegetables, baked goods, flowers, etc. The tractor-pulling contest and demolition derby are some of the most popular events. We hope you all "Come Back To the Fair".

The Farmers' Grove is located conveniently along State Route #191 and Kesslerville Road. The grove can be rented for family reunions, birthday parties, showers, etc., please call the Township Office at 610-759-6944 for further details.

An autumn Slate Belt Masonic Motorama event is held at the Farmers' Grove, sponsored by the local Portland Masonic Lodge No. 311. The event includes "anything with a motor" and features a tractor-pulling contest, amongst other family-focused events.


Plainfield Township Recreation Trail
In 1987, Plainfield Township purchased the 6.7-mile, 51.80-acre railroad bed from Conrail and converted it to a hiking and biking trail utilizing Rails to Trails, CDBG, RIRA, Penn DOT and DCNR grants. The trailhead starts at Belfast Junction off Sullivan Trail near Stockertown and travels north to Buss Street. The trail offers many beautiful views along the rural countryside with five bridges crossing over the Little Bushkill Creek. Picnic areas are available at the Belfast Junction and Knitters Hill Road trail entrances. We hope you enjoy your time hiking and biking on the Township trail.
