Last term at Carleton College a film student, Anna Wada, produced a short video documentary on the Scriver Building for her CAMS 270 class.  The video contains selected stories about the Scriver Building's origins, occupants, and history as the site of the famous James-Younger Gang bank raid of 1876.  Enjoy!

The 2009 Outlaw Run was a  HUGE success!  Thank you everyone that came out and rode in support of the Northfield Historical Society and our youth programs.  Also, a  huge THANK YOU to everyone that came out and  volunteered, you all did a great job!  We had a lot of fun and I think everyone learned a little something about the history of Northfield.

Below is a slide show of photos from this year's ride.  Big thank you to Bridgette Hallcock and Jessica Green for taking 270 pictures!  You can also go to Locally Grown for 70+ photos that Griff Wigley took.  Here is a link to the Northfield News' photos and video.  You can also see the video I tweeted when the bikes left town.

Just for fun, here are the photos from the 2008 Outlaw Run!
