A Palace That Is Made Out of Corn and Took Over 30 Years to Build

If there is one crop that the U.S. is famous for, then it would probably be corn. It is native and easy to grow across the country, and for that reason (and that reason only), it is probably not shocking that the United States is home to a corn palace. Located in Mitchell, South Dakota, you can see “The World’s Only Corn Palace” along with the 600,000 visitors that come every year. Each year, it is redecorated with the season’s fresh crop for a cost of about $175,000.
