D.A.R. Memory Lane
Memory Lane was a gift to the community by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.) in 1934. The Olathe chapter raised funds to purchase 48 hard (sugar) maple trees, representing each of the 48 states at that timealong with a red granite boulder to carry a dedication marker.
Originally dedicated on May 30, 1934, the lane was re-dedicated on October 7, 2000 with the addition of two benches, new landscaping, and an illuminated flagpole.
The lane is one of the finest stands of hard (sugar) maples within Olathe and is ablaze with color in the fall.
