Mitchell

Mitchell, where locally owned shops, restaurants, and attractions line the bustling Main Street, oozes small-town charm and family fun. Visit Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village, an active archeological site, and the Dakota Discovery Museum and Carnegie Resource Center to learn about local history. Boat, fish, or ride your bike along the lakefront trails at Lake Mitchell. Watch a live performance at Mitchell Area Community Theatre or a movie under the stars at Starlite Drive-In Theatre at night. The Prehistoric Indian Village was a thriving community of over 1,000 American Indians, gardeners, and hunters who occupied 70 lodges along the beautiful shore of Lake Mitchell more than 1,000 years ago. Allow this archaeological site to reveal this historical landmark, which contains many artifacts from early village life.

Mitchell truly has something for everyone, from its unique Corn Palace exterior to its impressive museums. The Corn Palace is famous for its incredible Moorish architecture and distinct appearance. The World's Only Corn Palace, a Moorish-style building with famous corn murals and events, is the town's top attraction. It's worth a look to see what all the fuss is about. It was established to "display the fruits of their labor" by farmers. Each year, the exterior is changed, which takes about a month and 3000 bushels of corn and other produce.
