Events

January 25, 2025 The Fred Harvey Experience

Step back in time to the golden age of travel and hospitality at The Fred Harvey Experience on January 25, 2025. Begin your day at 11 am at the Fred Harvey Exhibit, where you’ll be treated to tea and water while learning about the legendary Fred Harvey and his iconic Harvey Girls. After the presentation, enjoy time to explore the exhibit at your leisure.

At noon, board a private trolley for a scenic ride around the loop, culminating in a stop at the historic Town Hall. Inside, the room will be transformed into a charming 1800s Fred Harvey eatery, where you’ll indulge in a delicious, four-course meal drawn from the original Fred Harvey menu. Experience the tradition of the Fred Harvey Cup Code and take home a special keepsake.

The event concludes at 3 pm, but the fun doesn’t stop there! You’re invited to shop at the bookstore, visit the car barns, or take a ride on the train or trolleys. Tea attire is encouraged but not required for this unforgettable journey through history.
