Northfield by Marie Booth Ferre (English) Paperback Book

Description: Northfield by Marie Booth Ferre, Susan Post Ross Northfields mountains, abundant forests, and rich agricultural fields along the Connecticut River sustained native inhabitants for centuries before the English settled in the area known as Squakheag in 1713. Incorporated in 1723, Northfield became a crossroads for travel and commerce, supporting ferries, taverns, mills, and other farm-related businesses. Elegant Federal-style homes crafted in the 1800s by the Stearns brothers still line the iconic Main Street. Northfield native Dwight L. Moody, a famous evangelist, founded area schools and summer conferences. In the late 19th century, the quiet farming town became "heaven on earth" to Moodys followers, who arrived by the hundreds each summer seeking spiritual renewal and relief from the cities. The railroad brought visitors to the first American youth hostel and to the popular Northfield Inn and Chateau, where many permanent residents found employment. Around Northfield, Queen Anne-style homes provided lodging for boarders, while tearooms, milliners, liveries, and grocers served visitors. Today, Northfields vitality and spirit endures, forged by education, hard work, civic engagement, and perseverance.
