Description
My mind drifts to the 1860's as travelers went west riding in these coaches. Hot weather, wet weather, tired and a tad hungry...
The 160 acre Mahaffie farm was purchased in 1858, and a small wooden frame house was pulled to the location from nearby downtown Olathe. J. B. and Lucinda Mahaffie operated a stagecoach stop for the Barlow and Sanderson Stage Line from 1863 to 1869, providing livery service and meals. The Mahaffies stayed at the farm until 1886, and the property was sold 6 times before the City of Olathe purchased the remaining 20 acres of the original farmstead in 1979. Since that time, the park has expanded through other purchases and may someday house a separate visitor's center & museum.
