Thousands of people passed the Mahaffie home on their journey to Santa
Fe, Oregon and California. Students discover why—and how—so many
Americans headed west as they pan for ‘gold’, and explore a real prairie
schooner packed for the Oregon Trail among other activities.
Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop & Farm engages visitors with hands-on experiences of 1860s farming, frontier life and stagecoach travel while preserving the nationally significant Mahaffie story.
