Ambien Online Overnight On the centennial of the opening of Northfield’s Archer House in August of 1877, Marjorie Neuhaus wrote an article titled, “Hotel Stuart: Now Century Old”. The Northfield History Collaborative has digitized Neuhaus’s first draft, with edits by longtime Northfield News reporter and editor, Maggie Lee.

Her account provides some great details on the beginnings of our historic hotel and the changes in ownership, design, and use over the years. I particularly enjoyed reading the description of the gala grand opening in the middle of August, 1877:

including this gem:

Neuhaus’s article also included a few menus for gala dinners, listing all of the delicious food and beverages one could enjoy. Green Sea Turtle Soup, or Cream of Oyster, yum!

Clearly, the Archer House has changed even more since Marjorie Neuhaus wrote about it, but that makes me wonder – which version of the hotel would you like to visit?

Newspapers (and even more interestingly, drafts of news articles like this one) can provide fascinating descriptions of history. See more from the Northfield News collection of the NHC. Who knows what else you can find if you look hard enough?

As we near the end of Northfield’s history month, I’m happy to announce the addition of new photographs to the NHC from the Northfield Historical Society’s Malt-O-Meal collection. This collection includes artifacts and images from the history of the Malt-O-Meal company, but it also documents key places in Northfield where it ran its business.

In celebration of our newest exhibition, “Malt-O-Meal Originals,” enjoy this selection of historical photographs of the Ames Mill, Campbell Mill, and other Northfield views.

Fun Finds in the NHC: KYMN Radio jingles

Northfield’s history month is already half over, but you still have time to enjoy another exploration of Northfield history as preserved by the Northfield History Collaborative. You may not know this, but the NHC can digitize not only documents and photographs, but also audio files.

Today we will take a look at more recent history from our partner, KYMN Radio. KYMN started broadcasting on September 27, 1968. Although the station broadcasts from downtown Northfield today, its original location was in Waterford Township, just a few miles away.

The station has focused on local interests since its beginning. Businesses within and close to Northfield advertised with them over the airwaves. The NHC has digitized a number of 1970-era commercials and jingles, and these are my favorites (they last about 1 minute each):


Also on the NHC are jingles for these companies:

Sit back and take a listen. Do you remember listening to the radio more than 30 years ago and hearing these commercials? See what else is in the KYMN collection on the NHC!

P.S. History Month may be half over but there are still plenty of events to attend! Hope to see you there!
