Slow Down This Black Friday With a Step Back in Olathe History

11/23/2020 (Permalink)

Enjoy the 1860s with a living history lesson and tailored events dating back to Olathe's founding.

The Mahaffie House is one of the most recognizable historic properties in this region of Kansas, as it was once the primary supply location for those headed west along the Oregon Trail. It is fitting that this entire property will transform into a living piece of history on the day after Thanksgiving, showing how things might have looked back in the 1860s.

There are multiple fun activities and sites to behold when stepping away from the hustle and craziness of Black Friday for a simpler time. Some of what you can expect includes:

• Stagecoach ride
• Tour of the historic Mahaffie House
• Agricultural and farming exhibits
• Cookstove and blacksmith demonstrations
• Unique gifts for holiday shopping

Just like in 1860, severe weather does not wait for a convenient time to strike. Our SERVPRO of Olathe / Lenexa team can help with intense storm damage cleanup for Olathe homes when you call (913) 782-4693.
