Welcome to Pleasantville
Throughout Pleasantville, there are reminders that a small working village is present: from the Jacob Burns Film Center, the sidewalks, and local mom-and-pop shops that make up this town. Pleasantville also includes front porches and friendly people very open and accepting and kind a special mix.
About Pleasantville
One of several municipalities in the town of Mount Pleasant, Pleasantville is 1.9 square miles, which means that, unlike in some suburbs, people walk everywhere; to school, to the movies, restaurants and shops, the library, and the year-round Saturday farmers market. They walk to the train to commute into the city. Pleasantville is chock-full of things to do for all in the community, including The Jacob Burns Film Center, Gordon Parks Foundation, Arc Stages, and Axial Theater. Events such as the Pleasantville Music Festival and the outstanding Farmer’s Market draw people in from near and far. Click here to read more about the Farmer’s Market.
