Paisley Park — Prince's Compound RoadyGoat

1987

Behind plain white walls at 7801 Audubon Road in suburban Chanhassen sits Paisley Park, Prince's 65,000-square-foot home, studio and creative sanctuary for nearly three decades. He recorded much of his later work here, hosted late-night dance parties, and rarely had to leave. Prince died here of an accidental fentanyl overdose on April 21, 2016, at age 57. Six months later, in October 2016, the compound opened to the public as a museum. An urn shaped like Paisley Park itself, holding his ashes, was displayed in the atrium and later moved into the building's vault, brought out briefly for anniversaries. The complex is unmarked from the road by design — Prince wanted the focus on the music made inside, not the building.

History of Lakeville

Where the James Gang Met Its Match RoadyGoat

1876

The old First National Bank still stands at 408 Division Street in Northfield, now a museum run by the Northfield Historical Society. On September 7, 1876, the James-Younger Gang, eight riders including Jesse and Frank James and the three Younger brothers, tried to rob it. Acting cashier Joseph Lee Heywood refused to open the safe (he claimed a time lock he couldn't bypass) and was shot dead. But townspeople grabbed their own guns and opened fire from the surrounding storefronts. Two outlaws died in the street; the gang fled wounded. A massive manhunt followed: Charlie Pitts was killed and the three Youngers captured near Madelia two weeks later. Only Jesse and Frank escaped. The bungled raid effectively ended the James-Younger Gang.
