- The Joseph Lee Heywood Distinguished Service Award is given to a Northfield citizen who exemplifies the commitment to public service which Joseph Lee Heywood lived and died for.
Heywood was killed while defending the old First National Bank during an ill-fated robbery attempt by Jesse James and his gang in 1876. Each year since 1983 the Heywood Award committee has honored a Northfield resident to “remind us of our past and our promise to improve our community for the future.”
