THANK YOU to all of our donors and supporters!! Whether you gave online during Give to the Max Day or whether you've mailed in your donation, we appreciate you. Your donation really does make a difference in Northfield!!
If you haven't made a donation to NHS yet, let me give you one more reason to consider it. We have A LOT more than just Jesse James stories. The James-Younger Gang might have given Northfield its most famous 7 minutes, but there is so much more to Northfield than that! Our current exhibit showcases J.J. Sletten, an artist and cobbler, and the next exhibit we're planning features Fran Hall, a local photographer and world traveler. We'll introduce you to the Northfield that shaped the community we call home. Donate to keep us telling the stories about OUR home. www.northfieldhistory.org/
All day long I've been posting about different ways that your donations help benefit the community and NHS. I want you to know that I, too, donate to NHS. My work here is not just a job but it is a cause that I whole-heartedly believe in. I hope you'll join me in supporting our community and our history. www.northfieldhistory.org/
Another way you can assist NHS is by helping us pay off our building loan. Little by little we're getting it paid off, but help is especially welcomed to help us become debt-free! You can donate specifically to help us with the loans by going to www.givemn.org/organization/Northfield-Historical-Society?mode=edit. All donations made on the GiveMN site will be put toward our loans.
