MAHAFFIE STAGECOACH STOP & FARM REVIEWS
Absolutely loved this place! All the staff were extremely friendly. The blacksmith and a little girl named Daisy were probably my favorites of the entire tour. The farm still operates as if it were 1865. It's a very cool experience if you're into the old time/old west history stuff. Very educational as well. Absolutely loved it and even learned a couple of new games while we were there! If you haven't been, I strongly suggest going and definitely check out their museum. I think I'm going to take my youngest back to see it next summer!
Very beautiful homestead with nice museum area with artifacts found in the property. The museum has great information and personal details from life traveling along the Oregon and Sante Fe Trails including excerpts from diaries. Historically accurate chickens and sheep and pigs near the house. Lots of hands-on activities for children to do as well.
It's really interesting the history surrounding this family and their home. We had a great time. Plaques all over with information. Fresh cooked bread baked like the olden days. Super neat.

ENSOR PARK & MUSEUM REVIEWS
A wonderful historic site with origional Ensor family treasures everywhere. Also much early Amateur Radio equipment used for 50 years by historic family members.
Such an important and well kept historical museum and in particular for amateur radio right here in KC’s backyard. This showcases that Kansas can-do attitude of our state.
Great place with great people! Educational and interesting at the same time.
