Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop and Farm Review

Really enjoyed the experience. Had a blast at the Christmas Open House! Loved the Stagecoach ride

Spent the 4th of July there. Very traditional celebration including the reading of the declaration. My three year old loved every minute of it

Lots of history. Very knowledgeable and friendly. If you are looking for a piece of pioneer past you can share with your kids and family you came to the right place. Will defiantly visit again.

Love the animals staff is nice very kid friendly with lots to see for yourself and children

Pretty cool place. We had a wedding to go to and it was nice also.

Amazing experience and friendly people that show the history of the stagecoach

So much fun... teaching the young kids about how to do things before machines!!

It is so different than when I went many years ago. But looking forward to enjoying axtivities

So much fun. Loved learning things about the 1800s.

This place was great! They were working the farm today, the people were so knowledgeable about the history of the farm and the stagecoach, it was a great way to spend the afternoon.

As a history buff, it was a great experience for me and my boy.

Great place for families with kids of all ages. Fun, intestimg activities at historically significant place.

So MUCH FUN! This location and all that it offers is just astounding! There is deep rooted history here and it truly comes alive! Def kid and family friendly!! We can't wait to come back

This is a really cool and historical place. We were able to take an old fashioned stage coach ride around the property and interact with the living history volunteers. The little lady blacksmith was awesome.

I went here as a child and to come back 12 years later to share this history with my wife meant so much to me!

Mahaffie is a great place to host events, the staff is helpful and the building is sooo clean!

Working farm with lots of animals, stage coach rides, historic crafts (e.g. blacksmithing) and a fine exhibit on regional history.

Really great place to take the kids for historical information and tour. Very family friendly

Great to learn about the historical significance of the stage coach stop. Get one of the guided tours if possible. The actors in period appropriate clothing and speech really help spring the visit to life.

Went for a family wedding. A beautiful venue and the volunteers/ staff are wonderful to work with

Had fun very cool but we had gotten ,6 inches .
So slay rides, snowman kids playing , sliding down the hills and having a wonderful Sunday afternoon

Brought my son here for the 4th of July and he loved it. I'm not sure how indicative this was of a normal day but they day was great and my son had a terrific time.

Fun place to bring the kids! Educational and interesting.

Fun little outing with kids. Our 17 month old loved looking at the animals

Great venue for events! I attended a wedding here a few weeks ago and it was beautiful. The inside has a modern-industrial look however great for staging an event. Earlier in the day, the stagecoach was taking guests for a ride. I will be back to see the museum soon!

Neat place for a wedding! Nice accommodations and a nice size.

What a great Sunday afternoon outing, even on a blazing hot day. My husband and I loved this historical site. All the the folks here are dressed in period clothing and offer detailed information about each aspect of this farm and its historical significance. This was so much fun we will absolutely be back this fall when it s cooler and see how the seasons change the landscape here. Oh and the stage coach ride was the cherry on top!

If you have not been yet this is a MUST SEE! Great for all ages.

I loved this place. The sample we ate from the kitchen was home made back on the days a taste of goodness...the coach ride was pretty interested im not to found of horses but I learned a little about them ,thanks to my grandkids who were asking questions ...we visited the place where the young woman was explaining of how the horseshoe was put on the horse just like we wear shoes too..my grandkids petted some baby chicks...but what I liked the most was the well water my grandkids got to experience it them selfs filling a bucket of water.they helped water the garden those had so much fun.we got to see how clothing was washed back then...how they dyed the eggs in a kettle with some nuts and flower.we also petted this big friendly sheep ...we went in a two story house which was lovely I enjoyed the boys room and parents room ...the woman who was baking on an old stove that was bakingsome bread in it .... pulse the little museum we saw first before paying to enter. it was amasing to see all those tools which was used a very long time ago ... pretty interesting to watch a video they had there to explain to how it was back in time...i really enjoyed it there I'm going to come back again it's a great place to just watch and relax

A very family friendly place to visit and learn about the Mahaffie Stagecoach.

Excellent historical facility, usually has something to do and is especially fun around Christmas. Many activitys offered that my family enjoys doing during the holidays.

I took my 4 year old grandson to the park At the community center.

Great day in another time! Something for all ages! Wish we had gone a long time ago, plan to go ba k soon!

We had so much fun visiting all of the animals and the museum was interesting

Great place to explore and visualize history. We went to their family fun night 1860s fireworks. It was a blast! Definitely will be coming back!

This is a great Olathe to vivist and learn about the history of my city, Olathe

My 11 year old daughter, "I have never enjoyed history as much as I did right now". This place was amazing! We were a family of 4. We watched the hitching and road a wagon. We went to the blacksmith, our kids got to hammer on a wagon wheel and learned about a stagecoach blacksmith. Barb was in the kitchen cooking on a 1800 stove. She invited us to help her. My kids 6 and 11 helped make gooseberry fritters. She made my husband and I coffee, using an egg as a filter like they did then. It was fascinating and so hands on. We went on July 3 and there were young kids and a mom volunteering. They taught us Graces, stilt walking, and other games from the times. This is an absolute must if you are in the Kansas City area! Check the website for daily activities.

Interesting place. The stage coach ride was an educational experience. It's hard to appreciate the Transcontinental Railroad without understanding that stagecoaches used to be the main form of transportation.

Fun. Went with my daughters field trip, and it was very neat what they are doing.

If you are looking for something different to do, this is a fun and educational tour. And I might also add that the food is delicious!

We always enjoy visiting Mahaffie. It's a great place to experience living history of Olathe and the U.S.

Peaceful place to be which gives you a hint of olden days and a reminder to pause today's busy lives. Excellent views and a wonderful place to take kids. Farm, farm animals, wooden fence, unpaved trail...many memories forever to cherish. Take a trip it's so worth it.

Fun place with lots of fun things for the kids to do. Really worth the time to visit.

What a well-taken care of historical farm! It was quiet when we went but the interpreters were knowledgeable and very friendly! We enjoy the stagecoach ride, grinding feed corn, listening to and watching to the blacksmith and more.

A hidden gem in nearby Olathe, KS. One of the few remaining historical stagecoach stops along the Sante Fe Trail. Helpful volunteers, great for kids and families; Have historic Independence Day celebration each year. July 2 in 2015

My father's wedding was held here. Beautiful building and great photo locations just outside. We even got a couple workers to take pictures with us, even though they were off the clock!

This is a great time for kids of all ages (including adults). Super friendly and knowledgeable staff/volunteers, and everything is in great condition. Overall, a very fun and educational experience!

This place is so neat! And Michael (one of our tour guides) was an absolute riot! Had a great time with a group of school kids. Can't wait to take the rest of my family!

I went over to meet my grandkids who were in town for a field trip. I had so much fun!! It's not just for kids!

Great place to go back in time ..... beautiful facility and lots of history.

We visited here for Homeschooling day. They had lots of experiments and activities for the kids to do as well as demonstrations. From old time photography, old fashion games, baking bread, making home made soda drinks & creating electricity. They stage coach ride was fun for the kids too.

A lot of fun. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. 1880 fireworks were fun

So many events for the city of Olathe happen here. Keep an eye out on the website or just visit to learn a little about the farm and life in the olden days.

You must see if you truly love early American History. Great place.

Very knowledgeable interpreters, friendly staff, and a beautiful farm. Excellent place to learn about a working farm and stage coach stop from a bygone era. Don't miss out on the opportunity of a stage coach ride, seeing a blacksmith at work, helping with farm chores, interacting with farm animals, watching the cook stove demonstration, and playing games! If you come to Olathe. ..make sure to stop at Mahaffie!

Many things were closed on day I was there, Monday. If you were raised in the country, you might be disappointed since it is basically a farm.

Since its winter, not all the buildings were open, but we had tons of fun anyway! When we come back in summer, we'll probably have to put a whole day aside.
We are a family of history buffs, so we loved it!! Plus the animals were friendly and many came over to the fences, so we got to say hello and pet them.

This is a working farm, with folks in period costumes explaining everything there. Cool blacksmith demo. Beautiful horses there. Nice place. Friendly staff.

Here to shoot a wedding. Nice place. All the windows let in a good amount of light for some great pictures. I did not have to deal with any staff, so my rating is for only being there as a photographer. Setup nicely, bathrooms were nearby and clean, and an outdoor patio area to get some air

Used Mahaffie as the venue for our wedding ceremony and reception. They were super accommodating, everything was perfect, and way cheaper than it all looked.

Went with my sons 4th grade class school field trip and had a blast.

Give yourself 2-3 hours here. Even if you've got young kids they'll more than likely be fascinated about how people lived before the internet. Before you hit the farm & stagecoach itself, make sure to take a walk through the museum. It's small, informative, and it has some interactive exhibits that will keep the kids on your side. Once you're done there go ride your stagecoach, go tour your farm, see the animals, and see what life was like in a previous century. It will be well worth your time to go back in time. Time & time again. Sorry, that's all - I promise. At least for this time.

Great place to visit and learn about the history of the town/county.

Can I live here? Please take your kids, especially to Wild West Days and other events!

Went on a field trip. Nice property, well maintained. Move staff.

Loved it! I had my wedding here and it was beautiful! The weather was perfect for all the pictures. The staff was great and very helpful in making my day as wonderful as felt that day.

Provided great education to youth or an interested family

Fantastic wild west days. Took daughter and bunch of grandkids. They had a blast learning about the 1800s. They rode a real stagecoach, branded some leather, panned for gold, listened to magic shows, pet oxen, lassoed bulls, got to see soldier and cowboy camps and a gun slinging battle. Highly recommended.

Fascinating and very well preserved historical site. Very kid-friendly, excellent field trip idea. Staff and historical reenactors were friendly and knowledgeable, the exhibits and historic structures were interesting and detailed, and the farm animals were numerous and docile. I greatly enjoyed our visit.

Cool place. Good family fun place for learning and enjoying the outdoors

Really cool place in the heart of Olathe. The staff do a fantastic job of educating and incorporating the children into the tasks they are doing. Highly recommend for recent American history buffs.
