A popular tourist destination in South Dakota, a building decorated entirely with corn and other grains. It was built in 1892, just after South Dakota became a state, to showcase the rich soil and to prove the fertility of the region. The building is famous for the huge, colorful mural on the sides, made of corn and redesigned every year.

The building brings thousands of visitors to Mitchell, all coming to see the unique murals. But the building also has other purposes. It hosts high school proms, dances, banquets and even sporting events.

The present building is not the original one, but the third of its kind, completed in 1921. Entrance is free and the palace is open from 8am to 9pm, from Memorial Day (last Monday of May) to Labor Day (first Monday in September).
