The Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota, is a multi-purpose civic arena and roadside attraction distinguished by exterior murals made from corn and other grains. Rooted in the late nineteenth-century crop palace movement, it began in 1892 as the Corn Belt Exposition and was rebuilt in 1905 and 1921. Its best-known appearance dates from 1937, when onion domes and minarets were added. Now the only intact crop palace of its kind in the Midwest, it draws large crowds and remains central to community life. Its exterior is redecorated each year with themed murals created from naturally colored corn grown by local farmers.
