2025 - Martinsburg 1877

This year's maze features Martinsburg's historical roundhouse, where the very first nationwide labor movement began.

The Great Strike of 1877 began when the wages of railroad workers were cut by 10%. Conductors, Engineers, Firemen, and Brakemen refused to move the trains until they received a fair wage.

You may notice large swaths of missing corn in the above image. In June, the corn maze flooded three times, washing away vital soil nutrients and making the field inaccessible for weeks. Against all odds, we managed to plant, but some areas didn't grow.

10 acres of fun

Lose yourself in one of our two 5-acre corn mazes!

Our corn mazes are carefully designed each year to be both challenging and fun, all while having an over-arching theme.

(On average, our mazes take 20 minutes to complete)

Rules

In order to preserve the corn for harvest, and to ensure all visitors can have a fun experience, we ask that you respect these rules:

Leave No Trace: Do not leave any trash or personal items in the corn maze. Anything you leave in the maze will be tilled into the soil next summer, never to be seen again except by mother Earth herself.
Don't pick, snap, or stomp the corn. It took months to grow and weeks to design. Let's keep it pretty for other visitors to enjoy!
Refrain from eating the corn. You are human. This corn is meant for animals.
Running is forbidden
Consider the weather conditions: It is liable to be muddy. Dress for the farm, not the runway.

How long will it take me to go through the maze?
Most visitors finish in about 20 minutes, though it depends on how well you navigate!
Are strollers/wheelchairs allowed in the maze?
The paths are dirt and may be uneven. Strollers with large wheels may work, but wheelchairs may be difficult to maneuver.
When the maze is open during the night time hours, do I need to bring a flashlight?
Yes, you need to bring a flashlight because the maze pathways are not lit up at night
