St. Olaf College is located in Northfield, Minnesota, a charming, two-college town of more 17,000 people just 40 miles (about 70 km) south of the metropolitan cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Northfield has a rich history that includes the infamous defeat of the Jesse James/Cole Younger Gang’s robbery attempt. The town is much more sedate now than it was in 1876 with the outlaws and is extremely pedestrian-friendly. Shops and restaurants line Northfield’s historic Division Street.
