Harvey Houses of New Mexico: Historic Hospitality from Raton

Harvey Houses of New Mexico: Historic Hospitality from Raton to Deming

The Santa Fe Line and the famous Fred Harvey restaurants forever changed New Mexico and the Southwest, bringing commerce, culture and opportunity to a desolate frontier. The first Harvey Girls ever hired staffed the Raton location. In a departure from the ubiquitous black and white uniform immortalized by Judy Garland in 1946ï¿½s Harvey Girls, many of New Mexicoï¿½s Harvey Girls wore colorful dresses reflective of local culture. In Albuquerque, the Harvey-managed Alvarado Hotel doubled as a museum for carefully curated native art. Join author Rosa Walston Latimer and discover New Mexicoï¿½s unique history of hospitality the ï¿½Fred Harvey way.ï¿½
