Correcting the record

James Gang was defeated in 1876
Correct Bank
In our constant, relentless pursuit of truth and accuracy, today we post a correction to an earlier post that inadvertently identified a bank in Northfield as being the one that outlaw Jessie James and his gang attempted to rob in 1876.
Recently fact finders found the correct bank and made these updated photos. Evidence of the James Gang's ill-fated efforts includes bullet holes in the historic brick walls on Northfield's main street. These have been verified by our own forensics experts.
We regret the error and repeat our offer to reshoot any embarassing photographs taken of our guests outside of the wrong bank.
Incorrect bank.
 It was built in 1905. Sorry, everybody.
