Historical event set Saturday at Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center

The Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center will host a program on a Harvey House girl at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Harvey Houses were a restaurant chain often connected with the Santa Fe Railroad, which operated throughout the United States. Waynoka had a Harvey House Restaurant which has been restored and has a Museum upstairs.

Judy Ferguson, retired Insurance agent from Waynoka, will do a first-person impression of Ruby Pearl, a Harvey House girl from Waynoka.

Ruby Pearl was born in 1900 and died in 1985. She lived in Waynoka all her life and worked as a Harvey House girl in the late 1920s when the Transcontinental Air Transport came through Waynoka.

The TAT was a continent-wide transportation system combining air transport and train service which enabled travelers to go from the east coast to west coast in comfort. Because the TAT system come through Waynoka, Pearl waited on many famous actors and actresses that came through the town, as well as having waited on Colonel Charles Lindbergh, the organizer of the system.

The program will be held in the mall outreach space of the Heritage Center at the far eastern end of Oakwood Mall near JCPenney. The event is free and open to the public.

For more information call Glen McIntyre at (580) 237-1907.
