The world's only Corn Palace began as The Corn Belt Exposition in 1892,
a promotional enterprise established to showcase the rich agricultural
region of the James Valley. The exposition became a popular annual
event, and an icon of the American prairie. The Corn Palace has occupied
three different buildings since 1892. Adorned each autumn with corn,
grains, and native grasses in decorative patterns and themes, the Corn
Palace has hosted famous entertainers, politicians, and community
events. Now well into its second century and going strong, the Corn
Palace has become a symbol of South Dakota. Mitchell's Corn Palace tells
the unique story of the palace through a collection of over 200
fascinating vintage images, chronicling this unique piece of Americana.
