Our design pays tribute to the rich history of Kansas City, Missouri, and its neighboring city of Leavenworth, Kansas. It tells the story of entrepreneur Fred Harvey, the founding father of the American service industry, and the intriguing Harvey Girls. It is a story of entrepreneurship, the railroad, and romance.

Keyta and Rachel Kelly

Having lived in Leavenworth County for 43 years and in Kansas my entire life, I have a profound appreciation for the beauty of the Midwest. As a dedicated watercolor artist, I confidently capture the vibrant rural life of the Kansas City region in my work. From striking sunflowers and proud roosters to engaging scenes of old men chatting at car shows, my paintings showcase the rich and diverse moments that define our everyday existence.
