The brilliant bearded British biologist who boarded the brig named the Beagle was a natural selection for a corn maze. We celebrated his 200th birthday, his astounding whiskers and our shared Darwinian characteristic of carrying our brains around in cases called skulls. Our maze-goers never faced a more challenging game, yet Mike barely grew enough … Read more
The Homeric epic poem The Odyssey is the foundation for “space operas,” “road movies,” and a ubiquitous touchstone for the west’s greatest literature, rock music and comic books. Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey are the oldest works in western literature and 29 centuries later, they are still two of the best. Our maze illustrated the Cyclops, Polyphemus and … Read more
“Louis Armstrong’s station in the history of jazz is unimpeachable. If it weren’t for him, there wouldn’t be any of us.”- Dizzy Gillespie Maze-goers were Maestros as they played jazz standards and more on our musical fences. Music, from our ears to yours!
Julia was, hands down, our most popular guest star. She was featured on NPR’s Weekend Edition, American Public Media’s Splendid Table, Vanidades magazine, and in the August/Sept. 2007 edition of Saveur magazine as well in the Boston Globe and a mention in the New York Times. Ristorante DiPaolo, The Blue Heron, and Bub’s Barbecue featured some of their gustatory treats at the Corn Cafe … Read more
Bert Einstein took maze-goers on a journey around the galaxy and beyond in 2005 when the maze took the shape of Bert and The Spiral Galaxy. Potato accelerators, Galileo’s Laboratory, Wavesticks, and the Great Potato Battery were among the many attractions to be found in the maze as well as a scale replica of the … Read more
The candidates were all ears. Maze-goers hit the campaign trail to hustle votes in the corny states (Upchucky, Massiveshoefits, etc.). Mudslinging (courtesy of Hurricane Ivan) and the giant butterfly ballot with the spudzooka voting stylus rounded out our comprehensive electoral college experience.
Corn was a King in 2003. The death mask of the boy king, Tutankhamun, provided the inspiration for a challenging maze. It also gave us an excuse for building a tomb and sarcophagus encasing Mike’s mummy. Swept away by Egyptomania we erected a 1/20th scale model of the great pyramid of Khufu made with over … Read more
“Oh, make no mistake, the Babe is still here, still out in the land, his shadow enveloping his sport, as well as his country, in a way nobody — in any profession — has ever been able to duplicate. He is still the most memorable man who ever wore a uniform. He is Babe Ruth, … Read more
Before there was The Da Vinci Code there was our Mona Maze. Leonardo’s subtle beauty is arguably the best known masterpiece in the world. It’s been copied, praised, and parodied for centuries. Here was our contribution to that growing body of work, perhaps the largest copy ever made. The Mona Lisa maze was even featured on Ripley’s Believe It … Read more
Our inaugural maze was based on the 2000 Massachusetts quarter. It was 4 acres. Since our first maze, we have grown to 6-acres and now 8-acres of maze to explore!
