The 2022 Lyman Orchards Corn Maze transports you back to the electrifying moment Benjamin Franklin flew a kite in a thunderstorm, making the connection between lightning and electricity. 2022 marks the 270th anniversary of Franklin's famous kite flying experiment and we're spot-lighting Ben's discovery along with the key role he played in America's history as one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.
As part of the Opening Ceremony on September 3rd, the first 50 visitors who successfully make it out of the maze will receive an official Lyman Orchards Kite & Skeleton Key!
