We had never been to Mitchell, South Dakota to see the Corn Palace. These are some scenes taken both outside and inside. The theme for 2009 was Americas destinations. The pictures depicted many places we had been, like Mt. Rushmore, Lincoln Memorial and Crazy Horse Memorial.
The picture above is a close-up to give you an idea of how the natural materials are used. We read that there are about a dozen different colors of corn that are grown for this project.
The 2010 theme is transporation. They have completed this train and car, and you can see they are constructing another scene. You can't tell by the picture because of equipment blocking the view, but it is a 4-wheeler.
The picture above is of the very first Corn Palace built in 1892. We liked the picture below because it shows a parade passing and the Statue of Liberty in "center stage." It was from the early '20's.
The next two pictures each contained twelve different years of designs.
Below are two very colorful designs.
