Rustic township with an agricultural base
Founded and settled by a single family in 1796, Winfield Township began as an industrial community tied to the businesses of limestone mining and grain milling. While it no longer serves as an industrial hub and is now home to over 3,000 people, the township maintains its small-town feel as an agricultural community anchored by the presence of family-owned farms and local businesses. Winfield Township embraces a feeling of seclusion and tranquility alongside Pennsylvania Route 356, which winds through the countryside and provides access to the rest of the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area.

Access to the Butler-Freeport Community Trail
Near the center of town is Winfield Township Community Park, which has a playground, a paved walking path and a covered pavilion with picnic benches. Over in the southwestern corner of the township is the Butler-Freeport Community Trail, which runs along the banks of Little Buffalo Creek. “The trail is so well-maintained, and you can go for miles. It’s got beautiful views,” says Michelle Blume, a Realtor with Realty One Group Gold Standard with over 15 years of experience in the industry. The entire trail system spans 21 miles and follows the path of the former Western Pennsylvania Railroad, which is now a popular destination for walkers, runners and cyclists rather than trains. Residents can become members of the local Tarentum District Sportsmen’s Club, a recreational group with opportunities for skeet shooting, archery and other outdoor activities. Winfield Township is about 6 miles from the Saxon Golf Course, which features two public golf courses.
