Mitchell Corn Palace

Mitchell Corn Palace

July 7 at Mitchell Corn Palace

Admission is free. The World’s ONLY Corn Palace. It sounds corny—don’t bother to excuse the pun—but it’s pretty a-maize-ing (sorry, I couldn’t help myself) when you look closely.

Each year, on interior and exterior walls of the building, pictures are created using corn cobs in 12 different colors. The artwork design is pretty amazing. For the town and region it’s a multi-use center. For visitors it’s a reminder of the history and strength of the region.

For us, the visit was a transition back to human creativity and dimensions after the immensity of God’s handiwork farther west in the Black Hills.

This sight was not worth getting out of our car for.

This building is advertised all across South Dakota (that and Waldrug). Maybe South Dakota feels like they don't have anything better to offer, but I disagree. Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands definitely surpass this silly little building.

Basically, the Corn Palace is a small basketball stadium with the front wall made out of corn—that's it. Don't bother getting out of your car because there is nothing else to see, unless you have never seen a basketball court. Driving past this would have been sufficient.

While you're visiting SD in growing season, you see more corn than you could ever imagine. One of the inventive things that is created with some of this corn is the Corn Palace. With a lot of imagination at work; it's changed every year. There are the usual tourist shops surrounding the Palace as well as the shop inside of the palace. They have almost everything you can imagine concerning corn. We couldn't resist buying a jar of the corncob jelly and a little corncob-shaped scrub brush.
