Based in Leavenworth, Harvey built an empire - Newton Kansan

Editor’s note: In about 1905, the Fred Harvey Company moved facilities from Kansas City, MO to Newton, KS to a location on west First near Sand Creek establishing the “Fred Harvey Farm.” The facility processed dairy products, carbonated soda and poultry. He also operated a diner and laundry facility in downtown. Due to his historical significance to Newton, we are providing this three part series by sister publication the Leavenworth Times.
