Origins of Lenexa

Santa Fe Trail
During the mid 19th century it was the main commercial road from Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Learn where it passed through Lenexa.
Historic Locations
Lenexa has many historic locations, but you’ll want to start with Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park. This city park contains the Legler Barn Museum, Lenexa Train Depot Museum, Wiedenmann Strang Line Waiting Station and a retired caboose on partial train tracks.
