This limestone Barn, built by Swiss immigrant Adam Legler in 1864, was originally located at the corner of 95th and Quivira in Lenexa, Kansas, with the Santa Fe Trail passing through one corner of the Legler property near the barn. In 1983 it was reconstructed at its current location in Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park in Lenexa through the fundraising efforts of the Lenexa Historical Society. Today the barn is operated and maintained by the City of Lenexa and houses Lenexa’s History Museum and Archive. The Lenexa Historical Society aids the City by using LHS’ collection of historical artifacts and expertise to design and maintain exhibits, as well as develop local history themed public education programs. Guided tours are provided by trained City staff and Lenexa Historical Society volunteers.

The mission of the Legler Barn Museum Complex is to preserve, collect, exhibit, research, and educate the public about the history of Lenexa, Kansas from past to present.

Also in the complex are the Herb Garden, Wiedemann/Strang Line Wait Station, and the Frisco Train Depot Museum and Caboose.
