Experience Midwest Fun Through the Ages in Olathe, KS

The community of Olathe lies close to the east-central border of Kansas. Dr. John T. Barton founded the town that is named for the Shawnee word for beautiful. In the years that followed, the city became a favorite stopping place for pioneers traveling along the Oregon, California and Santa Fe Trails. The Mahaffie House welcomed guests for overnight stays and today provides the chance for visitors to step back in time during re-enactments.

Things To Do

Every three months throughout the year, the community comes together to Celebrate Olathe with a variety of fun-filled events. The fun takes place at the Olathe Community Center or in Stagecoach Park. The family-friendly activities include games, inflatables, face painting and photo booths.

During the summer, music fans enjoy the Olathe Live concert series. The presentations take place in various city parks. Different bands and performers take to the stage each week. Refreshments are provided.

In August, all have the chance to enjoy the unique aerial show during the yearly Great Midwest Balloon Fest. Dozens of pilots from across the country, balloons and crews venture to the Great Mall of the Great Plains to get their equipment ready for flight. During the day, visitors have the chance to take tethered rides. The pilots also compete with one another to complete various competitions. The event also includes live entertainment and refreshments.

In September, the Mahaffie House presents Wild West Days. Venture back to the days of the wild west and learn roping and leather stamping. See the encampments where soldiers lived in the field. Pan for gold and take a stagecoach ride. There is also a chuck wagon cook off, a stagecoach robbery and other Western skits.

Later in September, locals and guests once again have the chance to commemorate local history during the annual Johnson County Old Settlers Festival. The fun lasts for three days in the downtown area. The festivities include a carnival, live entertainment and a classic car exhibit. Artists and crafters display their works and dozens of food booths provide refreshments."
