Why Live in Penfield

Penfield, a small community in Gifford, Illinois, has a population of around 200 but sees a significant influx during the annual Historic Farm Days in July, attracting 7,000 to 10,000 visitors. This event, hosted by the I & I Antique Tractor and Gas Engine Club, features a museum with exhibits in an old school, including a one-room schoolhouse, log cabin, and antique tractors. Residents have dining options like Last Call Bar & Grill, known for its diverse menu and popular wing night, and Longbranch Steakhouse in nearby Gifford. For groceries, a Dollar General is in Gifford, and a larger County Market is 10 miles away in Rantoul. Penfield's homes range from early 20th-century farmhouses to ranch-style and Cape Cod houses, with prices varying from $50,000 to $180,000. The neighborhood has a full basketball court for recreation, while the Middle Fork River Forest Preserve, six miles north, offers extensive outdoor activities, including stargazing events. Gifford Grade School, a few miles west, is highly rated, with strong teacher quality and academics. Penfield's rural setting includes a post office and the historic St. Lawrence Catholic Church, which will close in 2025. The community is unincorporated, lacking a formal government or town hall.
