It still has several buildings from the 1800s.
They were in the process of preparing for their big annual event: "The Defeat of Jesse James Days."
Northfield, MN – 27 AUG 2012
I made a brief stop in Northfield to check out the town that was the down fall of the Younger-James Gang.
The Museum includes the original bank building...
safe, teller counter and all.
Voted "Best Re-Enactment of the West" by True West Magazine, this event pays tribute to the Northfield townspeople who defeated the infamous James-Younger Gang when it attempted to rob the town's First National Bank on September 7th, 1876.
Maybe this was the second First National Bank building.
Around the corner I found this decorative fence.
And when I crossed the river, this Great Blue Heron.
