Mahaffie Heritage Center

Olathe, Kansas

The Mahaffie Heritage Center opened in April 2008 to tell the story of the Mahaffie family and their connection to Olathe, Kansas and the Santa Fe Trail. The 8-acre site includes a life-size relief sculpture of a stagecoach, passengers and horses and features native plants and trees and 19th century ornamental plantings. A restored native prairie is proposed for future implementation.

The Mahaffie Historic Site contains the only remaining stagecoach stop open to the public on the Santa Fe Trail and is a certified historic site on the Santa Fe National Historic Trail by the National Park Service.

Landplan Engineering was part of a multi-disciplinary team, with responsibility for site civil engineering and landscape architecture, including earthwork, paving, erosion control and landscape plan.
