Well, where did the summer go?
Submitted by hayes on Tue, 08/29/2006 - 21:47.Can I just say where did my summer go? Last time I checked I was stuck in our archives room digging around for our BRAND NEW EXHIBIT, "The Early Years of Northfield." All of a sudden the 4th of July celebration was upon us, then the grand openings of the store and the new exhibit and now it is time for the Defeat of Jesse James Days. So I would like to take some time and let you know about some of the new and exciting things that have been going on at the Northfield Historical Society.
I would like to start off and say if you haven't come down and seen our brand new Museum Store I suggest you do so. We have a brand new mercantile counter that reminds us all of what a 19th century merchant store looks like.
NHS thanks Northfield Rotary

Northfield Rotary funded the entire project through their Centennial Gift. The exhibit chronicles the founding of Northfield up through the founding of Northfield College (Carleton College) and St. Olaf College. This is a permanent exhibit and is open to the public now!
