This Stone Barn, built by Adam Legler in 1864, was orginally situated on the Santa Fe Trail at the corner of 95th and Quivira, Lenexa, Kansas. In 1983 it was reconstructed at its current location in Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park in Lenexa. Today the barn houses a museum are operated by the Lenexa Historical Society.

Guided tours are provided by staff and volunteers.

The old Lenexa Frisco Depot has been moved to the same park and is located near the Legler barn. This depot, originally constructed in 1912-13, houses exhibits of transportation modes typical of early-day Lenexa.
