Eckert’s Versailles Orchard
About Heroes Among Us at Eckert's Versailles Orchard in Versailles, KY
This year, Eckert’s Corn Maze honors the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, paying tribute to the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call and the strength and resilience of our nation. The 2026 Corn Maze opens September 5 and is available Tuesday–Sunday, plus Labor Day, throughout the fall season.
Join us September 19 and 20 for Heroes Among Us Weekend, a special event dedicated to remembering those we lost and honoring the courageous men and women who continue to serve and protect our communities.
Throughout the weekend, active and retired firefighters, police officers, EMS personnel, dispatchers, military members and veterans will receive complimentary admission with a valid ID as our way of saying thank you for their service and sacrifice.
Guests are also invited to visit our Hometown Heroes Wall, featuring local veterans and first responders nominated by family and friends. Each photo will recognize an everyday hero who has made a difference in our community.
Honor a hero in your life by submitting their photo, name, and branch of service or department to tickets@eckerts.com. Their photo will be displayed on our Hometown Heroes Wall throughout the weekend as a tribute to their service.
In addition, $1 from every paid admission will be donated to Kentucky Homeland Heroes to support programs serving veterans and first responders across the Commonwealth.
Spend the day enjoying fall on the farm while taking time to remember the past, honor those who serve and celebrate the heroes who continue to inspire us every day.
