Dolly Parton’s face is appearing in giant corn mazes across the United States and Canada, which may be the most wholesome possible use of satellite-guided agricultural design.
Twenty farms are participating in the tribute. The maze designs were planned before Parton’s death on August 25 and now serve as seasonal memorials to the singer, actor, songwriter and philanthropist.
The fields support a library
The campaign benefits Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which sends free books to children. Visitors can navigate portraits cut into corn, answer trivia and take photographs at themed displays.
Utah-based The Maize Inc. created the designs as part of an annual series honoring country musicians. Previous maze subjects have included Reba McEntire and Luke Bryan.
A legacy can be serious without becoming solemn
Associated Press reported on the mazes September 16, 2026.
Parton understood spectacle better than nearly anyone, but she repeatedly turned attention into practical generosity. A five-acre portrait made of corn sounds gloriously ridiculous. Helping children own books makes it unmistakably Dolly.
