Mitchell Corn Palace

Today we visited the main attraction in downtown Mitchell, SD - the world famous “Mitchell Corn Palace". The outside is decorated with all kinds of murals, diagrams, and decorations and it is all done in CORN! The really amazing thing is they re-do it every year with a different theme. I think the first one was back in 1897.

On the inside is an arena where they host basketball games and tournaments, shows, etc - plus when no events are going on the floor is used for the Corn Palace gift shop. High on the inside walls all around are more murals done in corn. Along the hallways are pictures of all the previous years in the Corn Palace history. An amazing place - here are a couple of pictures.
