Dolly Parton Corn Mazes Become Memorials at About 20 North American Farms

Farms are directing ticket proceeds to Parton’s Imagination Library to honor her legacy and support book-gifting programs.

Overview

  • Farms across roughly 15 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces converted preplanned Dolly Parton corn-maze designs into public tributes after Parton died on Tuesday.
  • The nationwide campaign was organized by Utah-based The MAiZE Inc., which created the Dolly layouts and secured Parton’s prior approval for the Country Music Corn Maze project.
  • Individual sites have announced schedules and installations, including All Seasons Orchard’s 6-acre portrait maze that runs through Nov. 1, Jaemor Farms’ Harvest Celebration beginning Sept. 12, and Happy Day Farm’s maze opening on Sept. 19.
  • Participating farms say they will donate a portion of ticket sales to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and local chapters, though most operators have not specified the exact share or donation mechanics.
  • The mazes link a long-running agritourism tradition and The Imagination Library’s book-gifting work, offering fans a place to grieve and celebrate while generating local farm revenue and charitable support.
