Virginia farm turns corn maze into map of the United States

BRISTOL, Va. (WSET) -- If you're looking for a way to celebrate the fall season, you might want to take a road trip to Bristol, Virginia.

Lee Highway Farms has created a corn maze in the shape of the United States.

"Last year, we took a trip to the state of Virginia. This year we are going nationwide!" they wrote on Facebook.

Along with the four-acre patriotic maze, they have a barn-themed children's maze, pumpkins, mums, and hayrides.

Stewart Etter, who created the maze, said there are 16 cities that you have to find.

He told WTVR that cutting the USA map was an all day affair and he had to have a friend wear a GPS and walk in front of the machinery to make sure everything was being done correctly.

"Come on down to Southwest Virginia," he said. "There's a lot of stuff down here, good friendly people, a lot of good places to eat. This is the best time of the year to be in the mountains."

The farm is open Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

To get into the maze, it will cost you $10 for ages 13 and older, $6 for ages 5-12, and it's free for those under 4 with an adult.
