    Timeline of Northfield’s Railroads

    John W. North’s vision for the town that bears his name included a railroad, since he believed rail connections essential for Northfield’s growth.

Through the generosity and support of the Northfield community and beyond, the 1888 depot was saved and restored and now is available a community gathering place.
