The photo used in this post was made during a previous year. Today social distancing is strongly encouraged. Please be respectful of other visitors and give them space - something we have in abundance on the historic grounds!

On July 4th, attendance will be limited to 180 guests total at any time. Per Executive Order 20-52, Mahaffie will require masks to be worn when visiting. Thank you for your understanding as we work to provide a safe environment for guests and employees. For more information, visit: Olatheks.org 

*Weather Alert* If the heat index reaches 105 degrees, stagecoach rides will be replaced with another hands-on horse activity. We want to ensure the safety of our horses. Thank you for understanding.
