Fred Harvey Houses of the Southwest

More about the book

The Fred Harvey legacy is linked to the establishment of high-quality dining and hospitality along the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway. Travelers were delighted by the transformation from shabby eateries to elegant restaurants staffed by the renowned Harvey Girls. While many original Harvey Houses now function as museums or civic centers, a select few continue to operate as premier hotels at iconic locations like the Grand Canyon, Winslow, Arizona, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, preserving a unique chapter in American hospitality history.
