Wandering a maze is an act of discovery. Each turn is like a narrative choice, you don’t know what’s coming next, and the path unfolds in real time.
At Kyker Farms in Sevierville, Tennessee, that idea comes to life. Every fall, the farm hosts live Appalachian storytelling events, where regional storytellers gather families around firelight to share folklore, tales, and memories rooted in mountain life. This place becomes both a physical and narrative space — a place where the land, the season, and the story are weaved together.
