Well, finally a rest day, but what do you do in Mitchell, SD? There are lots of things to do while in Mitchell: go to Walmart (we did), McDonalds (we did), ride around town (we did). However, there are some unique things to see and do in Mitchell: The ONE and ONLY Corn Palace, Lake Mitchell, stroll the streets of downtown Mitchell, enjoy some Butter Burgers at Culver's and of coarse, shop at Cabela's... We have added several pictures to try and show some of the beauty of Mitchell. We thought a place on Mitchell Lake would be nice and then we thought of the other part of the year....
Mitchell Corn Palace:
The Corn Palace serves as a multi-use center for the community and region. The facility hosts stage shows, as well as sports events in its arena. The World's Only Corn Palace is an outstanding structure which stands as a tribute to the agricultural heritage of South Dakota.
The original Corn Palace, called "The Corn Belt Exposition" was established in 1892. Early settlers displayed the fruits of their harvest on the building exterior in order to prove the fertility of South Dakota soil. The third and present building was completed for it first festival at the present location in 1921.
The exterior decorations are completely stripped down and new murals are created each year. The theme is selected by the Corn Palace Festival Committee and murals are designed by a local artist.

Downtown Mitchell has a lot of old stores and has done a good job of maintaining its history. It was very interesting walking around town and viewing the many unique stores.
