Corn hole, also known as bean bag toss or simply baggo, is a lawn game that has been enjoyed by families and friends for generations. But where did it come from, and how has it evolved over time? In this blog, we will explore the history of corn hole and how Canopy Woodcrafting is keeping the tradition alive.
The origins of corn hole are not entirely clear, but it is believed to have started in the Midwest United States, possibly in Ohio or Kentucky, in the late 19th or early 20th century. The game was initially played with sacks filled with corn, hence the name "corn hole." Over time, the bags were filled with lighter materials such as sand or feed corn, and the boards were eventually painted with fun designs.
Corn hole quickly gained popularity and became a staple of backyard barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings. It was also played at festivals, fairs, and sporting events, and it wasn't long before it became a recognized sport with official rules and tournaments.
In recent years, the popularity of corn hole has only continued to grow, and it has become a staple of tailgating and camping trips.
