The Heywood Story

Joseph Lee Heywood—whose wit, integrity, and courage foiled the James-Younger Gang’s attempted raid on September 7th, 1876—is undoubtedly the hero of Northfield.

Heywood’s daughter Lizzie May was a resilient, active leader in her own right.

The Heywood Story is one of heroism. Experience it today.
