The Star‑Spangled Maze at Fort Hill Farms

250 Years of Stars, Stripes, and Corn! Explore the Betsy Ross Flag Maze — A Maze Done Bright. If you’re looking for a maze that’s more than just left turns, right turns, and “Wait… didn’t we pass this corn stalk already?”, you’re in the right place. This year, we’re celebrating 250 years of the United States with a maze inspired by the Betsy Ross flag—a bright, bold, history‑packed adventure woven right into the fields.

A Maze With a Story

Every season we pick a theme, and this one is extra special. You’ll learn fun, surprising facts about America’s past as you wander through the corn. For example: Did you know the first illuminated American flag was created in Rhode Island? Yep—just a short drive from here. And that’s exactly the kind of “Wait, really?” history you’ll uncover as you explore.

A Maze Where You Hunt for Answers

Most mazes challenge you to find the exit. Ours challenges you to find the truth. Your game sheet is filled with questions so interesting that you’ll forget you’re even trying to finish the maze. Instead of racing out, you’ll be stopping to read signs, solve clues, and say things like, “Hold on, I never knew that!”

It’s part maze, part scavenger hunt, part history lesson… and all fun.

A Special Visit This Fall

Circle September 19 on your calendar. WINY Radio will be here broadcasting live and interviewing a relative of Francis Scott Key—the man who wrote “The Star‑Spangled Banner.” It’s not every day you get to hear stories from someone connected to such a huge piece of American history.

Perfect for Families, Friends, and Anyone Who Loves a Good Adventure

Whether you’re a maze pro, a history buff, or someone who just wants a fun afternoon outdoors, Fort Hill Farms Star‑Spangled Maze has something for you. Come wander, learn, laugh, and maybe get a little lost—because that’s half the fun.
