Feliks Banel: The mystery of Washington’s first corn maze

Culture Trip features Cherry Crest Adventure Farms as one of the reason why Strasburg, doctor PA is among the top 10 most beautiful towns in Pennsylvania!

Strasburg is nicknamed “Train Town USA” because of its numerous railroad attractions, like the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, the National Toy Train Museum and the Strasburg Rail Road. Much of the countryside in Strasburg is rich in history and beauty and, in 1983, the National Register of Historic Places considered a majority of the borough as a historic district. Other attractions in Strasburg include ghost tours, Amish countryside tours, buggy rides, the “Cherry Crest Adventure Farm” and miniature horse farms.

The Cherry Crest Adventure Farm in Strasburg, seen here in 2010, takes advantage of its location as seen in this aerial view.

The “Amazing Maize Maze”  mazes are now all open and running through the fall.
