Corn Palace

The Corn Palace is located in Mitchell, South Dakota. It is a popular tourist destination, visited by over 200,000 people each year. It consists of a building that is adorned with images and patterns made from corn and other grains. The Corn Palace in Mitchell was founded in 1892. However, the original structure was replaced in 1905 with a larger structure. This structure too was replaced in 1921 and was designed by the architectural firm Rapp and Rapp of Chicago. Moorish domes and minarettes were added in 1937, giving the Palace the distinct appearance that it has today. From 1948-1971 the artist Oscar Howe designed the panels. The Corn Palace in Mitchell was predicated by several other grain palaces including: a Corn Palace in Sioux City, Iowa that was active from 1887-1891; a Corn Palace in Gregory, South Dakota; a Grain Palace in Plankinton, South Dakota; and a Bluegrass Palace in Creston, Iowa.
