Northfield, Minnesota, is located along the shores of the Cannon River, just south of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and northwest of Rochester, MN.
For generations, visitors to this college town have found a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere with so much to do. Both Saint Olaf and Carleton liberal arts colleges are based here, and their presence creates an active open atmosphere few other small communities can offer.
Whether you enjoy the arts, history or nature, you'll find multiple outlets for your educational curiosities. And when you are ready to wine, dine and relax, you'll find one-of-a-kind restaurants, live music and theater, and a variety of comfortable lodging options.
We invite you to spend the night and find out for yourself what we have to offer. For a memorable experience and a relaxing getaway, you'll find few Minnesota destinations as satisfying as Northfield.
Winter weather means a whole new world of activity in Northfield.
Fire up your snowmobile, strap on some snowshoes or slide into your cross-country skis. A little snow won’t slow down life in Northfield!
We invite you to warm up with a steamy cup of Joe at one of our many coffee shops, check out what’s going on at St. Olaf or Carleton College, or go on a shopping spree. Indoors or outdoors, there’s plenty to do on a winter day in Northfield.
Check out our calendar of events for even more activities or just come to town to see Old Man Winter in a whole new light. You’ll be glad you did!
