I haven't been able to locate the brochure, but the Labyrinth is a maze in
New Harmony, Indiana.  New Harmony, was the site of a commune in the 19th
century.  I've never been there, but have heard that the maze is quite
extensive.  I think they have a website.  Hope this helps.

>While I really don't know if any formal evaluations have been completed,
the Mohonk House (New Palz, NY) recently completed a large outdoor maze as
part of its vast garden complex.   Now it's just a matter of letting it
grow!   I would suggest contacting their  Head Gardener and discuss why and
how they decided to take on that project....it must have had some
visitor-driven component.

toward adults. Before we begin concept design, I'd like to reveiw any
evaluations completed on similar projects. As I have been unsuccessful in
locating any systematic exhibit evaluation of either maze gardens or maze
exhibits, I'm turning to my colleagues to recommend either:

>> Similar garden exhibits at public garden sites or

material relating to target audiences and how the site measures the success
of their venture.
