To know Harper Kansas… is to know Rosalea Hostetler and to know Rosalea… you have to know her hotel. Rosalea is a Harper native, and although she’s left town a time or two in her 85 years of life, she says she’s always felt this nudge to return. Rosalea says she’s spent decades trying to preserve the history of her hometown. She hasn’t given up yet, and it’s safe to say she probably never will. “I feel sad… because I know what used to be here. I know it can rebuild and revive… Everything always changes,” Rosalea said as she walked downtown.
