Liberty Mills Farm is home to Central Virginia’s Largest Corn Maze.

In 2011, our maze features Mt. Rushmore and UVA’s V-Sabre.

With nearly 6 miles of walking paths over 20 acres, we offer great trivia, navigation challenges and the opportunity to win UVA Football Tickets.  We’ve hidden punches for you to find and quiz questions that will test your knowledge of our presidents, Mt. Rushmore and UVA.  Join us for a fun day of testing your map skills and sense of direction!  The maze is divided into three sections and you can complete one or all three.  Average times for the three phases are Liberty Mills Farm(30 minutes),V-Sabre Trivia  (45 minutes-1  hour), Founding Fathers Hole Punches (2-3 hours).  All times are approximate as it depends on your strategy, sense of adventure and size of your group! 2011 Maze will be open from September 10-October 31. We hope you will make plans for a farmtastic adventure!

About Mt. Rushmore

Gutzon Borglum, master sculptor, was contacted by South Dakota’s State Historian to carve large figures of Indian leaders and American explorers who shaped the frontier into South Dakota’s Black Hills. Borglum instead envisioned four U.S. presidents each representing a brief history of America. Four presidents were chosen to represent the first 150 years of American History. Washington, being our first president represents BIRTH of our country, Jefferson symbolizes the EXPANSION of the nation, Lincoln embodies the PRESERVATION of the nation in confronting the challenges of the Civil War and Roosevelt represents the DEVELOPMENT of our country as he promoted the construction of the Panama Canal.

The Mt. Rushmore at Liberty Mills Farm is approximately twice the size of the actual heads carved into the Black Hills of South Dakota where the actual chin to head dimension is 60 feet.  Click on any of the Mt. Rushmore links for more information on this impressive monument!
