This is the Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop and Farm Historic Site. Its here in Olathe. This is the last remaining stagecoach stop open to the public on the Sante Fe Trail.

The 160 acre farm was purchased in 1858 by J.B. and Lucinda Mahaffie. They operated a stagecoach stop fro the Barlow and Sanderson Stage Line from 1863 to 1869. The Mahaffies stayed at the farm until 1886.

The building to the left of the house is the original ice house. I like the way the place looks all covered in snow. Our 3rd big snow storm this winter.
