Plainfield During WWI and the Influenza Pandemic Exhibit​

Note: We are working on a full website dedicated to our WWI Veterans. More information will be available soon
This exhibit is dedicated to the memory of the 45 soldiers and their Gold Star Families from Plainfield and the surrounding area who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country during WWI. Some were born here and others were immigrants, but all served their country with courage, bravery, and valor.
