Christopher D. Mitchell—a retired health care marketing, communications consultant, and educator—has visited the Oglala Lakota Reservation and the Badlands. While researching his Scottish roots, he discovered Alexander Mitchell’s eponymous town. Mitchell celebrates South Dakota's Corn Palace, the last of the Midwest's grain palaces and a distinctly American blend of art, agriculture, and civic pride.

Love this one! How about the SPAM Museum in Austin Mn?
Thank you for this informative and colorful post, Mr. Mitchell. I had no idea we once had corn palaces..
I hope too that we'll also learn more about the many Native American reservations in the US and the Americas: how to - access information and support them: recognize our many connections; and Celebrate their lands, culture, and sacred spaces. Thank you..
And speaking of palaces, I happened to see a picture of the Taj Mahal today: it has a spectacular reflecting pool! I didn't realize this before but won't forget now..
