Corn Palace

015
  The first corn palace was built in 1892 to show the world that crops could be grown in South Dakota. A new theme is used every year when it’s redecorated with ears of corn cut lengthwise for the pictures, and decorative grasses and plants for the borders and columns. A short movie, a few displays about making the murals, a gift shop, and a sports arena with more corn murals are located inside.

  Everything at the palace is accessible but some of the curb cuts from the parking lots to the palace are steep or in bad condition.

  Parking for RVs is a block east on Seventh Street then north on Lawfer Street. The car lot is east on Seventh. Follow the signs for both lots.  Palace
