The Corn Palace in Mitchell, S. Dakota

You can't pass through S. Dakota without visiting the World's Only Corn Palace. First built in 1892. Each year the outside of the Palace is stripped and redecorated with different colored corn cobs and  grains such as rye, oats and barley bundles.

Inside the palace is the local school gym. The walls are decorated with corncob murals.

Over 275,000 ears of colored corncobs are used to make these Folk Art pictures.

One of many, this is Mt Rushmore.

Although there were several informative exhibits inside, I discovered Bob playing on the tractor.
