Historic Rural Hill and the Town of Huntersville will host family “Halloween Fun” on Saturday, Oct. 26, noon – 3pm. Enjoy games, arts & crafts vendors, moon bounce, the pumpkin patch, face painting, live music, food, a children’s costume contest and more. Free.

One of the largest in the southeast, the giant seven acre Rural Hill Amazing Maize Maze features more than two miles of interconnecting paths. The Amazing Maize Maze challenges your skills as you look for mailboxes containing map clues. With help available when needed, the Amazing Maize Maze is designed to be navigated in 1-2 hours. Visitors can also explore Rural Hill’s 265 acres and historic site, take a hayride around the farm, play corn-hole, tackle mini-mazes, picnic, and more. Hayrides around the farm are $3 per person.

The Rural Hill Amazing Maize Maze is an imaginative use of a corn field so comfortable shoes are suggested. Water stations are on site and visitors are permitted to bring in their own food and beverages. Vendors will be onsite with snacks, ice cream, soft drinks and water available for purchase.
