Description
Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop by Lynn Sprowl.
The original farm was founded by James Beatty Mahaffie and his wife Lucinda, in 1858. They ran it until 1870 and stayed on the farm until 1886. The existing house was completed by Mahaffie in 1865. It includes two foot thick limestone blocks quarried from the farm itself.
The stone farmhouse 1865 is one of the few stagecoach stops left on the Santa Fe Trail, and the only one preserved as a public historic site. Listed on National and Kansas Registers of Historic Places. The site is also designated as an official component of the Santa Fe National Historic Trail by the National Park Service.
