Last night at the National Archives in KC, they brought together an amazing group of Harvey family members, and Fredheads who run Harvey museums or Harvey Girls groups in Santa Fe, Belen, El Paso, Dodge City, Florence, Topeka and Leavenworth. A huge part of the Fredisphere all together in one place, to see Katrina Parks’ new documentary on the Harvey Girls and to also see the National Archives new show “Fred Harvey: The Man the Brand and the American West.”

If haven’t seen the National Archives show yet, by the way, make plans to do so before the end of the year when it closes. It is jam-packed with photos and artifacts I doubt you will ever see together again in one place. Mazel tov to curator Dee Harris, and to Public Programs Specialist Kimberlee Ried for making all of this happen!

And we’re looking forward to seeing most of this crew together again today in Leavenworth.
