The Northfield Historical Society (NHS) grew out of the activities of the committee formed to celebrate America's bicentennial in 1975. One goal of the committee was to establish a museum. The committee first considered Joseph Lee Heywood's house as a possible site, but members agreed that although the house had great historical relevance, it would be hard to adapt it for use as a museum. A few months later, the Scriver Building came up for sale, and the owner accepted the group's offer of $125,000.
