This is another of the "GEMS" of Sites across the USA that I've enjoyed down through the years ...
Have you ever seen an ENTIRE BUILDING ..
where the Murals on the Exterior Walls ..
Can be TOTALLY Stripped down EACH YEAR ..
and .. in each HUGE MURAL PLACE,
YOU FIND ..
Brand NEW .. ARTISTIC .. Realistic .. Awesome Scenes
(with a different THEME every year?)
(ONE of the themes Honored the Boy Scouts of America on their 100th Birthday!)
AND WHAT .. may I ask .. are these MURALS made from
THEY Are ENTIRELY Made from .. CORN!
(ALL of it NATURAL .. YES .. Natural Corn Varieties, Natural Grasses, and Grains too form the Murals!)
http://www.cornpalace.org/Information/corn-palace-history.php
NOW did I NOTE Here .. that this site is .. FREE?
(YES .. DO Bring a Camera .. these MURALS are Outstanding!)
The interior of the Corn Palace does have historical photos on the Corn Palace itself (This is NOT the first one, by the way) .. but also about the History of the Area's Agriculture.
IF you have the chance .. DO Take the time to TOUR and View this site. I know it was worth the day's stop just for the fact that I enjoyed the ARTISTIC TALENT that it took to CREATE the murals in the first place.
(VERY Family Friendly, it is accessible, has parking available for RVs as well)
There's also a Snack Bar on site as well as restaurants nearby.
(LOOK at the Sculptures around town as well as some of the OLD Street Lamps/Clocks too!)
Here's the LINK to their Website

Doubt if they could build it today, in our ethanol crazed environment.
