Jim will lead a discussion about his research for his book on the Depot building’s history from newspaper articles of its construction and the Fred Harvey House restaurant, to interviews with persons involved in its renovation to become the Chanute Public Library and the Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum. Now and then photos of the Depot and the Harvey House restaurant will be available for viewing. Harvey Girls will be serving refreshments at the end of the program.
