Thanks for the wonderful coverage of Plainfield On the Move and your great M door photos on request.

We look forward to all of Plainfield Today's readers visiting Plainfield Public Library's historic photograph, document, map, and ephemera exhibits and the Local History Room.

Here you will get a taste of Plainfield's rich history as a hub of activity and invention for trains, trolleys, automobiles, and airplanes.
