Last night at Millstream Commons the Northfield Historical Society presented, Winter Stories with Early Northfielders. This event drew about 70 people including two Boy and Girl Scout troops. The audience listened to early Northfielders, Mason Wheeler (Orrin DeLong) and Ann North (Marion Hvistendahl) talk about life in Northfield during the cold winter months. If you missed the event, here are some photographs from last night.

Well since it snowed last night, I figured I should post another one of my favorite winter pictures from our collection. This is of the old Central School.

Enjoy!
