Our story began in 1999 when Loretta Duncan decided to design a corn maze for fun - she used numbered graph paper and a pencil to draw the very first corn maze and then instructed 15 friends and family members to stand throughout the corn maze with little orange flags so she knew where to cut the paths. Designing the maze has progressed since then, Loretta now uses a GPS system where she uploads her designs and then can completely cut the design on her own, using simply a computer and her lawn mower. Loretta is always happy to talk about how she makes the corn maze, so feel free to ask her questions when you visit us at the maze this year!
