Up next: NHS Annual Meeting
The Grand Theatre, Feb. 28, 2020

It's been a busy week at NHS. We've started working on the space for the NEW raid exhibit. Walls and trim are painted, artifact mounts are being constructed, and guns are being fitted for their new cases. It's getting exciting!
It's a sad day at NHS. This is Stephanie Hess' last day with us. For four and a half years she has overseen the growth of the Northfield History Collaborative, digitized most of the photos that NHS has, answered research requests, transcribed hundreds of pages of documents, researched and installed amazing exhibits, and managed the Malt-O-Meal collection. NHS would not be where it is today without her vast array of skills! She is headed for the next big opportunity in her career. Join me in wishing her all the best!
Have you gotten your 2019 Christmas ornament yet? NHS is open until 5 on Saturday, 1 to 5 on Sunday, and 10 to 5 on Monday. You still have time to pick up this little memento of Northfield!
There aren't many shopping days left before Christmas and NHS has only a handful of ornaments left. Get yours while we still have them!
Susan Hvistendahl and Jeff Sauve are at the museum tonight signing their new book on the history of the St. Olaf band. 600 hundred pages of history!
