Hear the story of how the Harvey House was saved from the wrecking ball by Slaton citizens. Built in 1912 as a restaurant that served railroad passengers in Slaton, it is the last remaining structure from the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad in Slaton. Today the Harvey House is a successful event venue and bed and breakfast. Ages 10+

This will be presented by Tony Privett. Tony Privett is a Slaton native who led the volunteer efforts of the Harvey House restoration for the past 30 years. Now retired, he had a varied career as a book publisher, writer, and public relations specialist.
