Homesteading in Harper County
Crystal Springs
When it was settled by Amish Mennonites
in the early 1900's, Crystal Springs was already a town. The post
office was established on January 16, 1885, and a depot, stockyards,
and two grain elevators were also part of the town's landscape.
The Crystal Springs Mennonite Church was moved here from McPherson
County in the early 1900's.
