That's right, Plainfield is best known as the former home and final resting place of Ed Gein, son of an extremely religious grocery store owner who later killed two women and used their bodies, as well as some exhumed ones from a nearby graveyard, for some truly horrifying interior decorating.
Gein was laid to rest here after dying in a mental institution, but his much visited gravestone has been removed; you also won't be able to get close to the site where his farmhouse once stood. (It was burned down after his arrest.)
But driving around in this idyllic place may remind you of just how little you know about your neighbors!
