Fred Harvey History Weekend 2024

All net proceeds from the weekend benefit the New Mexico History Museum, specifically projects concerning Fred Harvey, the Santa Fe Railway, Native art, and the 19th and 20th century cultural, culinary, architectural and economic history of the Southwest.

Please click the red button on the upper right to reserve your seats at the Friday and Saturday talks, as well as the Foodie Dinner & Auction Saturday night which includes a cocktail hour beginning at 6 PM, four-course dinner and a special gift of Mimbreno China--designed by Mary Colter and replicated by HF Coors--in a commemorative box.

Individual Foodie Dinner & Auction tickets are $150 each. We also offer sponsorship packages, that include multiple reserved tickets to the Foodie Dinner and the lectures, allowing you to bring your friends and additionally support the Museum and SW History.

In-person lecture tickets are $50, which includes a guaranteed seat for both days; online tickets are $25. Both include exclusive access afterwards to recordings of the talks.

Full agenda of talks will be posted soon.

Other events are being planned from an earlybird lunch and museum tour on 10/24 at the Belen Harvey House Whistlestop Cafe, to a 10/26 Legal Tender breakfast in Lamy, and two meals in Las Vegas: 10/27 dinner at Castaneda Hotel and 10/28 farewell breakfast at Prarie Hill Cafe at the Plaza Hotel. Reservation info for these will be posted soon. But our main ticketed events are the two days of TALKS, and the FOODIE DINNER. They generally sell out very quickly.

Fred Harvey Weekend’s corporate sponsor is La Fonda on the Plaza. Our major private donors are Susan and Thomas Kevin Golden. Mimbreno dinner gifts courtesy of HF Coors. Foodie Dinner wines donated by Southern Glazer's Wine and Spirits. Special auction items created by Bronzesmith Fine Art Gallery and Foundry. Historical donations and inspiration from La Posada & Hotel Castaneda. Thanks to all of them, and to the Harvey Family, past and present, for their legacy of innovative business, customer service, cultural diversity and culinary and design ambition.
