Minnesota corn mazes serve as popular fall tradition
Minnesota hosts numerous corn mazes as a popular fall tradition, with various farms offering themed experiences that can cover dozens of acres.
The corn maze tradition in the United States is relatively modern, originating in 1993 in Annville, Pennsylvania. The first maze was created by Lebanon Valley College professor Don Frantz and a designer as a fundraiser. This original maze was shaped like a dinosaur named Cornelius the Cobasaurus and was constructed through the manual removal of stalks using a grid system.
