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.
