Saturday (6/20)  We got up and went to the Corn Palace in Mitchell.   This is a building built in the 1890s with the ultimate intension of drawing tourist.   The current building is actually the third Corn Palace.   When it was started it was so successful, they knew right away they needed a bigger building.  Since then, they have built an even larger one.   Each year they decorate the outside of the building with a new theme and use 12 different colors of corn.  It cost $150,000 to completely re-decorate the outside of the building each year.

Also in Mitchell is the Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village. This is a dig site where they have found millions of pieces of artifacts relating to the Indians.   They have many illustrative displays and you can actually see the site that they are digging in.

We drove to Omaha that evening and we will be spending a few days there.
