Northfield

Situated along the banks of the Cannon River in the rich agricultural region of southern Minnesota is Northfield, a prominent example of a 150-year-old pioneer town. Located within a 45-minute drive of the Twin Cities, Northfield offers residents the combination of a quiet, small town setting still conveniently close to a major metro area. 

Twin Cities Trivia: 

Outlaw Jesse James and his gang tried to rob Northfield’s First National Bank on September 7, 1876. Armed citizens resisted and foiled the theft. Today, the failed robbery is reenacted during the city’s annual “Defeat of Jesse James Days” festival.
