Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop and Farm Reviews

I stopped by to check the place out as keep seeing the sign on the interstate. Expected a small building with a sign. I was surprised that it was a large interactive museum with real stage coach rides and the old farm house and buildings.

Recommend a stop here to get a bit of old history and a stagecoach ride around the property. Plan to spend several hours to take it all in.

When I was there they were having a special day for school children. A lot of demonstrations and people dressed in period clothing. Was a great experience, so glad I finally decided to stop and check it out.

Thought this was a great place but do not like their business practices,. In a state emergency they will not refund your money if you happen to back an event with them. Will definitely
not support this business again.

Very informative and historical place for the whole family. The staff were dressed up in the old days when the early 1800 settler era and provided many insights to the livelihoods in that time. This place have horses, chickens, and carriages and blacksmith. You can tour a typical home of the west and they will show you how they prepare their food. There are plenty of crafts for the kids and you can also try roping a bull with a cowboy laso.

A lovely museum though we were bummed the house was closed when we stopped in.

Bring the family and see an original stagecoach stop from the days of the Santa Fe, Oregon, and the California Trails.

Farmers market just across the street on Saturday and Wednesday mornings.

This was a wonderful experience. My students loved their field trip!

Daughter 's reception was held near there. Great venue

Took my 6 yo grand daughter and we really enjoyed our visit. There was so much to look at and the staff was amazing. They immediately got her involved in games and had her hold a chicken and pet some young chicks. It was a great time. We are already talking about our next visit.

This was an incredibly fun spot with a very unique and personal perspective into the american experience of yesteryear.

Interesting history. Could be more handicapped accessable.

The staff was very friendly and engaging. We really enjoyed our visit. I love how much they interact with children and get them involved. They made my daughters feel as if they were the only children in the world with all of their attention.

Pretty cool attraction. Check out their event calendar and go during a special event to get more bang for your buck!

Educational and fun, complete with a stagecoach ride, fun for the family

great staff took great care of is and really patient with my worry getting into stage coach.thank you

Mahffie is a remarkable step back into time that includes the story of an astute 1850's frontier businessperson.

I cannot tell you how impressed i was about the whole experience. After avoiding it for more years than i care to count, i decided it was someplace to take my grandaughter . It was Wonderful. It was authentic a recreation as i have ever experienced and the people playing characters were the most impressive i have ever seen. Polite, help and Very knowledgable, even i had a great time reliving the history of Olathe. I would higly reccomend it!

Had great time; I love the history. Took my parents who live in Olathe. And because they live in Olathe we got a $2/ticket discount.

Awesome place to check out! My brother and his wife got married here. Staff was amazing and super helpful. Highly suggested for events

We were the only people there but it was cold and it was a weekday. They gave us the same tour as larger groups. When we were leaving a gentleman describing himself as the volunteer coordinator stopped us and asked my 4 year old if he'd like to help feed the pigs. What a thrill for him to heave hamburger buns and lettuce over the fence.

Great family fun! Affordable, with many different activities going on all year long.

We loved it here. It was hot the day we went, we will definitely be going back!

Every little girl dreams about her wedding day and mine came true!! The Heritage Center at The Mahaffie was EVERYTHING and more I could've asked for in a venue. From the moment we walked in, the front office was kind and helpful and up to the very day when they helped to ensure a beautiful event space! One of the reason I loved the Heritage Center was not only for the ambiance but location and ease. I loved (and so did my soon to be mother-in-law ...) that we could visit any time to get a feel for the space and run through how we wanted the day to be. I also loved the fact that this venue allows you to have the ceremony AND reception all in one location! We had our ceremony on the south lawn and it was absolutely stunning followed by cocktail hour under the covered patio and reception inside! Lorna sat down with myself, my future in laws and our wedding coordinator to determine how we wanted everything set up for the day of. It was nice knowing the team at the Heritage Center sets up the tables and chairs for indoor reception and outdoor ceremony, all we had to do was bring in our imagination and decorations! They allowed us to bring in any and all decorations from lighting, centerpieces, eucalyptus chandeliers and even a couch/chairs for a sitting area outside! I loved the flexibility of this venue. I would highly recommend them, they helped my dream wedding to become reality and it will be a day we forever remember... Thank you to the amazing team at The Heritage Center!!

This was a fun stop for adults and kids alike. Lots of animals and interactive opportunities. Staff and volunteers made the visit super special for the children.

Awesome people, almost a family. Great trip into the past. Check out the blacksmith.

Historically beautiful it was a wedding and the leaves were falling in the sunlight. There was fly over as she came down the isle...it was amazing!!!

A great place to just stop and enjoy the horses with your little ones.

Lots of fun for the kids! Janetta is very friendly and knowledgeable. The stagecoach is always fun!

Wandered in here randomly and loved it! Every single person working was friendly, interactive, helpful, and had depth of knowledge!

Nice place. Niece had her wedding here and it was beautiful.

Very beautiful homestead with nice museum area with artifacts found in the property. The museum has great information and personal details from life traveling along the Oregon and Sante Fe Trails including excerpts from diaries. Historically accurate chickens and sheep and pigs near the house. Lots of hands-on activities for children to do as well.

This is a beautiful venue for a smaller wedding. It was very clean and well kept. The fireplace added a homey feel that was just perfect.

Accidentally went in at about 7pm because I didn't see the sign that said they closed at 4.
A lady informed me that we were trespassing, so we apologized and left. It looked like a cool place, but I don't think I'll go back.

Nice place to take family. Very educational. Friendly staff.

Great place. We visited here with the Boy Scout troop

Very knowledgeable and friendly guides, super experience for Our students

Wild West Days entertained my entire family for about 4 hours.

Hosting our Holiday party here this year. Lorna is great to work with, The Venue will be decorated perfectly for the holidays.

Fun learning experience for kids. Love the classes they offer.

Excellent field trip but I am not sure I will make the trip a second time since it is so far from home.

The family and I loved the place and it's kid friendly to

Wonderful environment! Staff are so incredibly friendly

This park is fun for a variety of family activities, with a fun climbing oriented playground and lots of shade for watching adults. We also enjoy the paved one mile walking trail around the scenic pond with nice landscaping and fountains. Children who love to climb will love the oak trees with low hanging branches.

Awesome experience! Very interactive and entertaining. Not " in your face " but very informative , educational and inclusive of all visitors. Looks like employees love their job.

Great informative exhibits. Living history employees were very unfriendly

My daughter and her class had the best time here on their field trip!

Stage couches and houses and reinactments are so real.

A walk through the past. What a wonderful history lesson and experience.

Great historical site, animals, carriage rides, best Independence day show in the area

It's a good place with a lot of history in it, but it's really small.

We love this place! They make you feel at home and it's very affordable! We went on a homeschool day and we paid $5 per student. Everyone is always very kind and the workers are very funny! Definitely a great place for a day away from home

Beautiful setting that allows an amazing look into Midwest history.

Lorna was amazing to work with. Even though we did not have our wedding here because of COVID-19, she was willing to work with us and offered her support in every way she could. Thank you guys so much!!

We had a fabulous time and all the employees were phenomenal!

Nice place. I would have a party there in the future.
