History
Our family farm was settled in 1890 with Sever Peterson the first and is still in operation by Sever Peterson III, his wife, Sharon, and the fourth generation. Sever and Sharon Peterson first had the idea of a corn maze in 1997 after hearing about the hedge mazes of Europe from one of their agricultural exchange students from England. We are the second oldest corn maze in the United States and the oldest in the Midwest. The first began in 1996 in Pennsylvania and still operates. We still cut our maze each season by hand and do not use GPS in order to ensure an accurate and clear design. Each year, we strive to add new activities and entertainment to our fall festival, hoping to make it a fall tradition for everyone to enjoy! The fourth generation plans to continue both the traditional farming operation and Sever's Fall Festival well into the future and we sincerely appreciate your patronage!
