On This Day

September 28

The first Mitchell Corn Palace opened its doors today in 1892. The Mitchell Corn Belt Real Estate Association hired an architect to build a shrine to rural life, and the first Corn Belt Exposition was held. Later renovations and expansions changed its look, but the Mitchell palace remained a focal point for the community. The palace has hosted big-name entertainers, athletic events and festivals. Over 500,000 people visit every year.
