Months ago, Jaemor Farm began planning this year’s corn maze long before they knew just how meaningful the theme would become.
This year’s maze celebrates Dolly Parton, and with her recent passing, it feels like an especially fitting tribute to a true legend who brought music, joy and kindness to generations. 🌽🎶
Come get lost in the Dolly Parton Corn Maze at Jaemor Farm and celebrate her incredible legacy.

A beautiful way to honor the legacy of the Queen of Country. 🦋💛🌽When we chose our 2026 corn maze theme, the thought was simple: everyone loves Dolly.
We were excited to celebrate the one and only Dolly Parton, and we were especially honored that this year’s maze would also connect us with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Her lifelong commitment to children and literacy made the partnership feel incredibly special.
We had planned to announce our corn maze theme today. Instead, we share it with very different hearts.
Dolly gave the world so much. Her music, her humor, her kindness, her generosity, and her incredible commitment to children and literacy have touched generations.
What was intended to be a celebration of an icon has now become a way for us to honor her legacy.
Our 2026 corn maze will proudly honor Dolly Parton.
What a sad day for so many who loved her. There truly was only one Dolly. ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
