Is there really anything that says fall more than the classic scarecrow? We see them on farms, front porches and in halloween costumes for the young and old. This spooky season, Fairfield County is bringing an all-immersive scarecrow experience, perfect for your next weekend getaway. 

Just a two-hour drive from Cincinnati, Fairfield County was named one of the best fall destinations in the U.S. by USA Today, and who can blame them? With pumpkin patches, apple picking spots, spooky flashlight tours, night-time corn maze hikes and more, Fairfield County has captured that classic fall feeling.
