Hayes Scriven, Executive Director of the Northfield Historical Society visits the Warden’s House to discuss the infamous attempted bank robbery perpetrated by the James-Younger Gang.

In September of 1876, the Missouri-based gang comprised of Frank and Jesse James; Cole, Jim and Bob Younger; and several lesser-famous desperados rode into Northfield, MN to rob the First National Bank of that city.  The attempt quickly turned the normally quiet rural downtown into a war-zone that left four dead bodies laying in the dust. 

During the program, Scriven will describe every bullet fired and every dollar swiped in Minnesota’s most famous Wild West heist.
