Mitchell occupies a stretch of prairie beside the James River in southeastern South Dakota. Its defining landmark is the Corn Palace, a Moorish Revival building whose exterior murals are remade each year from naturally coloured corn and other grains. The present palace opened in 1921, continuing a local tradition that began with the first Corn Palace in 1892. Beyond downtown, the broad plains and farm country underline Mitchell’s role as a regional centre for eastern South Dakota.
