Harvey House Museum — Attraction in Belen

I had a lovely experience here and honestly - what a gem nestled in Belen! My tour guide Jan was full of amazing details I didn’t already know about Fred Harvey and the Harvey Girls. Then, I got to explore on my own and what a treasure. The people that are preserving and showcasing this part of history have done an amazing job and it makes you feel like you are right back there during the time period. 🥮🍰There is also a cafe’ in the museum that is open Thurs-Sunday. Frances also was a joy to talk to and shared with me the community bonding that happens there at that café. I definitely have to go back when they are open, but I did snag a lemon blueberry cake freshly made that day. Cannot wait to try it!

5 STAR Review! Everyone was just LOVELY! My son wants to be a WWII Historian & just absolutely had a FABULISTIC time. The Museum captured such a neat essence in time. Everyone had something to share that made our visit so memorable. My Mom, that's 81 young, really enjoyed herself as well.

Thank you to everyone that served & informed...

Marty was very informed on all the history and just a lovely person all around. This is a two-story museum with lots of historical information posted as well as photos to go along with the information. This was definitely worth the stop. We spent about an hour and a half there. And if you’re hungry, they have a cute little cafe, but it...
