Corn Palace

They are refurbishing, so, most of the exterior corn murals are gone or incomplete. They still have some inside, will be beautiful when done in 2016.

Corn Palace: Under Construction

Saw it just before the construction started. Talk about amazing! The fact that they take all the corn down each year and redo it is absolutely wonderful.

Worth the stop just for the corny family picture. Not much else to do.

Corn Palace - 2008-2009 season.

Corn Palace

We visited the Corn Palace on our way home from a trip out west on June 27th. It's all decorated and the museum was open. It seems they have done something to discourage the birds. There were a few starlings and house sparrows nesting in it, but very few kernels were missing.

The corn mural theme currently is "Everyday Heroes," apparently through to 2009.
