Established in 1829 by the Potawatomie People, Northfield / Northbrook has kept a strong sense of community. For a taste of its friendly, small town feel pop into Book Bin on Church St. This independent bookstore has been operating for over 50 years. Take the kids to meet Sparky the Fire Dog at the annual Fire Department Open House. For retail therapy or a trip to the cinema, Northbrook Court has you covered. You can also enjoy seasonal pop-ups in the car park throughout the year. Stroll into the center of town to try out the various restaurants; House 406 is a real gem.


Ready to chuck a pumpkin? Celebrate fall at the annual Northbrook Autumnfest at Meadowhill Park. Grab a cup of cider and a couple of S’mores at the bonfire while the kids hit the hayride. It’s a fun, free, family day and a great way to get to know the community.
