Mitchell, South Dakota - Home of the Corn Palace! This is the World's only Corn Palace dating back to 1892. 275,000 colorful ears of corn are sliced & nailed into place on the murals that adorn this building. It's all done by hand, a folk art that is all but lost. Originally, there were 34 palaces in the Midwest. The murals change every year.
This palace is awesome and worth seeing. It's situated in an all American small town with the nicest people. We enjoyed scouring the gift shop inside while hunting for souvenirs. It was a lot of fun to visit and a very nice surprise, as we didn't know it even existed.
