The footage begins with me exiting the boat ramp parking lot found immediately after entering Shaker Rd. The history of Northfield on the town's website matches word-for-word some segments of Wikipedia's profile of the town. It's history tells us that the "north fields" farming community originated in an area that was part of the town of Canterbury, which in itself was established in 1841, twenty years BEFORE Abraham Lincoln was our President and the American Civil War began in 1861. Fifteen years after the end of the Civil War, however, 43 residents of the north fields of Canterbury submitted to the state their signed petition asking that they establish their own town, due to the long distance they had to travel for resources. Wikipedia explains that in the Northfield area, "early sawmills and gristmills gave way to large textile and paper mills. As these industries died out in the area, many old mill buildings were torn down. Others were used for the manufacture of other items, including optical lenses and lead batteries." But when viewing the scenery of Shaker Rd you'll see in this footage, you'll see it's beautiful, green countryside.
