Agricultural roots from over a thousand years ago
Mitchell, South Dakota, might best be known for The World's Only Corn Palace – a monumental venue decorated with murals created from grain. The location is more than just a tourist attraction; it highlights the area's strong agricultural roots that still exist today. Home to more than 15,000 people, the seat of farm-filled Davison County may be planted in the past, but its residents are eager to welcome changes, tourists and new traditions. "There is a lot of growth coming, and we're on the trajectory of progress," says Jordan Hanson, the Mayor of Mitchell.
Mitchell's farming history dates back a millennia. Maize and beans were the first crops grown in the area and are still the main exports. "They're building a new $500 million soybean plant here," Hanson says. The plant will be operational by fall of 2025, bringing an additional 85 full-time positions.
Avera Queen of Peace Hospital is among the city's top two employers, behind Trail King Industries, a trailer manufacturing company.
The exterior of the Corn Palace is updated every year with creative designs made from corn.

Dakotafest and The Corn Palace
Each of the 14 hotels along Interstate 90 fills during Dakotafest. "The city triples its population that weekend," Hanson says. More than 40,000 attendees visit the agricultural and farming trade show, which is among the country's largest and has over 500 exhibitors.
The Corn Palace has rotating murals made of grain, a detailed history of the area's agricultural past and is an event venue. "There are also tons of family oriented activities going on almost every week in the city," Hanson says. On the first Friday of the month from May to September, games, music and food vendors are on Main Street outside The Corn Palace.
