The Northfield History Center connects individuals to the history of the Northfield area by collecting, preserving, and sharing its unique stories. Founded in 1975, the Northfield History Center was formed for the dual purpose of saving the historically significant First National Bank building and to create a historical society and museum for the city of Northfield. Its collection reflects both of these endeavors.
Much of our collection is comprised of a variety of items relating to the 1876 failed bank robbery of the James-Younger Gang. Additionally, we house documents, photographs, and objects related to Northfield’s history.
Our museum is open March through December. Check our website for current hours!
