Mitchell Corn Palace
Across South Dakota on Interstate 90, about 5 hours from the Black
Hills, lies the town of Mitchell. In this town, one of America's
oldest tourist attractions continues to draw attention from passers
by. The Mitchell Corn Palace was originally built in 1892 by
settlers who wanted to show off the fertility of South Dakota's
soil. The first structure was called "The Corn Belt
Exposition". The present building location was first completed
for a festival in 1921. Since then, Mitchell's Corn Palace has
continued to evolve. It is an architectural delight for some, and
interesting at the very least. Throughout the year, special
events, showcases, theater and sports events make the Mitchell Corn
Palace an even more exciting place to visit.
