Mahaffie House, Historic site and museum in Olathe, United States.

The Mahaffie House stands as a two-story stone structure with four main rooms on each floor, representing the vernacular architecture of rural Kansas in 1857.

The property operated as a vital stagecoach stop along the Santa Fe Trail, supporting the transportation and commerce needs during the westward expansion of the United States.

The site functions as an educational center where interpreters in period clothing demonstrate 19th-century practices like blacksmithing, farming, and traditional cooking methods.

The museum maintains regular opening hours, offers guided tours, and includes facilities such as a gift shop, restrooms, and designated parking areas for visitors.

The property maintains an active farm with animals and crops, allowing visitors to participate in seasonal agricultural activities that mirror 1860s farming practices.
