With its onion domes, it looks like it was transported here from Russia, but this temple of corn is pure U.S. of A. This is the 3rd Corn Palace Building in Mitchell and it was built 75 years ago to show off the fertility of South Dakota soil.

Each spring the building's exterior is completely covered with thousands of bushels of native South Dakota corn, grain and grasses that are arranged into large murals. Each year has a different theme and new murals are designed to fit the theme. Inside the main auditorium are more murals that focus on South Dakota life. Tours of the building are available on weekends and inside you'll find photo's of the past buildings and each year's main mural theme.
