MITCHELL makes a mildly diverting
stop on the seemingly endless drive along I-90. The Corn
Palace at 604 N Main St (summer daily 8am-9pm; winter
Mon-Fri 8am-5pm; free) has been pegged as "the world's largest
birdfeeder"; the first Corn Palace was built in 1892 to encourage
settlement and to display local agricultural products. Topped
with brightly painted onion-shaped domes and minarets, this kitsch
Moorish transplant to the Corn Belt is decorated annually (at
a cost of about $125,000) with large murals depicting farming
and other outdoor scenes. The artists' materials consist exclusively
of native corn, grains and grasses of varying natural colors;
further examples of such rural folk art are found inside. Mitchell's
visitor center , 601 N Main St (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm;
tel 605/996-5567 or 1-800/257-CORN, ), is across the street, and
the Hard Drive Central internet caf? (318 N Main St; 20? per minute)
is two blocks south.
Other places where you can while away time in Mitchell
include a gallery devoted to a Yanktonai Sioux painter; a surprisingly
engaging museum of dolls, including a salt-carved Shirley Temple;
a pioneer museum; and a prehistoric Native American village. Both
the Best Western , 1001 S Burr St (tel 605/996-5536; $50-75) and
Super 8 (tel 605/996-9678; $50-75) motels lie
just off I-90 at exit 332. The Lake Mitchell Campground , one
mile north of town on Hwy-37 (tel 605/995-8457), has grassy tent
sites ($11) that overlook the water. The railroad-themed Depot
, 210 S Main St (tel 605/996-9417), is a fun place to grab a meal.
