Last Friday (5-12-06) The Northfield Historical Society (NHS) had a visit from across the pond. Artmagic an educational DVD documentary company based out of England was here filming a factual documentary on the life of the notorious bank robber Jesse James. Kevin, the one-man crew, spent the entire day in our museum filming and interviewing for the documentary. Kevin interviewed local author, John Koblas and local historian, Chip DeMann. Kevin was very interested in the attempted bank robbery by the James-Younger gang but he seemed even more interested in Northfields history.

A Salute to our Korean War Veterans is the newest window display in the bank windows at the Northfield Historical Society.
