The Cornfield, also known as Farmers' Independent Benevolent Society Hall, is a historic social hall located at Fly Creek in Otsego County, New York. It was built in 1928 and is a one-story wood-frame building constructed as a meeting space and dance hall for the area's small Slovenian immigrant community. The original section measures 50 feet long by 24 feet, 6 inches wide. The original building was expanded in the late 1950s with a kitchen wing and pavilion.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
