Big Woods State Park

Located southeast of Northfield, Nerstrand Big Woods State Park is made up of one of the last remnants of Big Woods vegetation along with rolling hills and valleys, traversed by Prairie Creek and its waterfalls. In 1854, the original woods contained about 5,000 acres. During the 1930s, major clearcutting was done on several hundred acres of the park. So in the late 1930s and 40s many people tried to protect the area and to preserve it as a state park. By 1945, the state had acquired much of the Big Woods remaining and a state park was established by the Legislature.

A

s Northfield continues to grow and prosper, city officials and local residents are looking at ways to further the city’s reputation as an “arts town.” Since the day in the late 1800s when Ann North carted a piano across the frozen Cannon River, arts in all forms have blossomed in the city.

The celebration of music can be enjoyed by all during countless concerts, recitals and shows including the popular Rock & Roll Revival put on by musically talented high schoolers, the annual JuneBug Festival of Music, and performances by singing groups of all ages, as well as local and regional bands and orchestras.

Not only home to many musicians, professional performers, artists and writers, the city also offers a plethora of cultural and artistic opportunities. Supported by the many events that take place year-round at St. Olaf

Northfield is home to two large, active arts organizations: The Northfield Arts Guild and ArtOrg. Since 1959, the Northfield Arts Guild has been serving artists in the community and visitors, as well, featuring theatrical performances. ArtOrg formed in summer 2004 and serves the needs of local visual artists. In addition to classes for youth and adults, St. Olaf and Carleton colleges also have art galleries open to the public.

And as Northfield and Dundas continue to develop a reputation for the arts, the mission has been adopted by local businesses, the colleges and even the city government.

HISTORY

I

t was John W. North who gave Northfield its name. North, a New York attorney, travelled to the Minnesota Territory with his family in 1849 and founded Northfield in 1855. Area farmers grew wheat, which was ground into nationally acclaimed flour. Later, when the milling industry began to fade, the dairy industry gained in prominence, and the city became a commercial and cultural center for farmers. Later yet, St. Olaf and Carleton colleges were founded and the city became known as a center of education.

On Sept. 7, 1876, the James-Younger Gang’s failed bank raid on the First National Bank changed the course of local history. People around the world soon learned of the heroic effort of local townspeople to chase off the bank robbers, and the city gained an international reputation for foiling the bank robbery which led to the demise of the James-Younger gang. The city now

annually honors the bravery witnessed on that day during its Defeat of Jesse James Day celebration.

However, despite being overshadowed by the bank raid, many other historical events have taken place in Northfield. In 1886, famed author Mark Twain visited the city and signed the guest book at the local YMCA. In 1897, Northfield resident Link Fey built one of Minnesota’s first successful automobiles.

In the early 1900s, the local high school was one of the first to field a girls basketball team. And over its 150+ years, Northfield has been the home of noted literary, political and industrial giants.

Many of the buildings in Northfield’s historic downtown have been imaginatively adapted for the business needs of today while still looking as they did over a century ago.

The Northfield Historical Society, located downtown, provides exhibits, archives and a bundle of knowledge for those interested in learning more about the history of Northfield. Visit www.northfieldhistory.org or call 507-645-9268.

Dundas Dukes

Dundas

Dundas is showing residential and commercial growth at a quickening pace, but still retains the picturesque beauty of a historic river town. It offers those interested in history four sites on the National Historic Registry to explore: a church, a mill and two 19th century homes. Attractions for visitors and local residents include the town’s Class B Dundas Dukes baseball team, walking and snowmobiling trails. The city also sits on the Mill Towns State Trail.

Lonsdale

Lonsdale

To see a good example of the growth in Rice County, look to our neighbor to the west: Lonsdale. The city is expected to double in size during the next 25 years. Located west of Interstate 35 on Minnesota Highway 19, Lonsdale was settled when the Milwaukee Railroad Company placed a station there. Farming has kept the community alive and thriving through the years and now more and more people are settling there.

In recent years, city officials have focused on growing the local economy, building a strong industrial park and giving the downtown a new look.

Each year the community celebrates Community Days in August. The event features games, a craft sale, a street dance and much more.

For more information, call City Hall at 507-744-2327 or visit the city’s website at www.lonsdale.govoffice.com.

Dennison

Another growing community in Rice County is Dennison. Dennison’s City Council is looking to bring industry and housing into the community. For more information, call Dennison City Hall at 507-645-7732.

HOUSING

T

he homes and neighborhoods of Northfield are a fascinating blend of the historic, traditional and contemporary; and new developments have remained sensitive to facilitating community connections.

Close to Northfield’s city center you will find tree-lined streets and predictable lots with classic homes including craftsman, Victorian, and colonial, to name a few. The growth in the latter half of the 20th century included custom-built ranch houses placed along curvilinear streets and cul-de-sacs. In more recent years, large distinctive homes were built, and the Northfield area has seen a number of townhome, twinhome and single home developments. Also, there are a variety of apartment options for those who prefer to rent. Living options for seniors include retirement condominiums, assisted living and apartments.
