Harvey offers welcoming community with diverse housing
One of the original Temperance Towns, the early developments of Harvey mimicked the nearby Pullman neighborhood with one exception – that the residents of Harvey were encouraged to purchase their own homes. This resulted in a diverse selection of housing plans for Harvey residents. Aiming to become a model town for Christian values and prohibiting the consumption of alcohol, Harvey has progressed from those dry days into a friendly community.
