Imagine it's 1875. You’re traveling west on the Santa Fe Railroad and you’re starving. Where do you go to get some grub? You’ll have to head to the local saloon and pray they have something that at least resembles food. Now, it’s 1876 and you’re continuing your trip west. The train stops and what’s that? A Harvey House! As you enter the doors you are greeted by the smell of fresh baked muffins, tables dressed with white linen tablecloths, and hostesses, all cleanly dressed, attractive, and certainly of good character.
.
So, what exactly could you eat at the Harvey Houses? Each Harvey House had its own menu, but they all shared one thing: quality. Prior to the Harvey Houses opening up, each traveler was on their own for finding a meal. This led to many low grade saloon dinners, or whatever could be scraped together. After Fred Harvey opened his hotels and restaurants, travelers were treated to freshly made meals, baked goods, and coffee.
.
Our own SDMRM staff took the time to try and make some of these Harvey Girl recipes, as you can see here in this video - Blueberry Muffins La Posada made by our own Curator of Collections, Margaret Harris!
