Photograph is from when I went on Easter.
I moved to Columbus earlier this year and "Field of Corn" is something I've wanted to see since I learned about it three years ago.
On Easter my fiancée and I went to see the legendary spot, and it was worth it. It made us laugh and reading the plaques reminded me of the gratitude I have for agriculture workers and the people native to the area before colonization. We did a fun photoshoot there for personal use and then left. Probably about 10-15 minutes for a visit. If you don't do a photoshoot, probably only 5-10 minutes.
If you are semi-local, I think it'd be fun to take the family on a picnic here. If you bring kids or homeschool you could use it as a lesson on the history of the area, lessons about farming, lessons about the native people present here before colonization, lessons about art, or use it as an immersive setting to talk bout food lessons.
If you are in the area to just see the roadside attraction on a one tank trip, I'd suggest checking out other free art such as the Dublin Art Council, Leatherlips, Watch House, and Feather Point all near the Field of Corn to make the trip saturated with uniqueness. (THIS NOT AN AD for these, but just something to compliment the trip to see the...
Read moreThis is classic midwest. Honestly, all you guys think about is corn. You have infinity corn, and now this monument to corn. Why do you need a monument for corn when you could just go for a drive and see more corn than you can handle. I hope it doesn't cost money to see this monument, because that would just be probably the worst deal ever made, as The Donald would say. In fact, I have a story about corn. My dad and I took a series of canals out to about Iowa, starting at the Erie Canal. We just started out on our little cargo ship, and when we got out past Illinois, the canals were just filled with corn instead of water. It was so annoying, because back in 1754, we didn't have shovels or buckets, so we had to pick out each piece of corn individually to get down to the water. It took us 75 years just to get through Chicago. And we weren't even in the midwest yet! It was unbelievable. My father ate so much corn that he died. We had to bring him home and eat him. He tasted like corn, but that's not the point. The point is that there is a lot of corn in...
Read moreI like this corn a lot. Okay, let me start by saying that I, a non-Midwesterner, did not expect to be quite as dazzled by these stunning gargantuan dedications to the maize god, but let me tell you, I was anything but disappointed! if you're in the dublin area--whether dublin ohio or dublin ireland, check it out! I flew 12 hours from europe to go see these corns and i will definitely be making the trip again! in fact, i planned my ENTIRE trip on these corns! what a sight to see! i had the pictures that i took developed and now i have a wall of corn in my bedroom and i look at it every night before i go to sleep, offering a sacrifice to the maize god--usually a corndog or something of the like. i would take a picture, but, unfortunately, my phone does not have a camera because i value vintage aesthetics and own a 1980's mobile phone with an antenna. thank you for your...
