Harvey School District presented the Mayor of Harvey Christopher J. Clark with an artifact from 1910! Nineteen years after the establishment of Harvey IL there was a sewing circle class where women were learning to stitch their names. The artifact was discovered by a woman in Idaho, who had a small resale shop, and recently reached out to the district. It was very important for her to get that cloth back to Harvey.
