Stagecoaches and wagon trains heading to Santa Fe, New mexico would go down the outside door into the cellar where they were served meals of biscuits, pies, vegetable stew, or whatever the Mahaffies had on the stove that day. Sitting at the tables and served famiy-style, the Mahaffie stop was considered one of the better places to eat on the Santa Fe Trail. Olathe, Kansas. Photo by Kathy Weiser-Alexander.
