You must have been to many places of interest and enjoyed all kinds of beautiful mountains and rivers. I am also sure that you have visited many old buildings covered with colorful pictures on the walls. Now imagine that a building with an exterior(外观)made completely out of corn and other grain! The building really exists—it is the Corn Palace.
The Corn Palace was built in 1892 in Mitchell, South Dakota. It was created to display the products of the harvest of South Dakota’s farmers, in murals(壁画)inside the building and on the outside walls of the building. The murals are made from lots of corn and other grain and grasses such as wild oats, rye, straw, and wheat. Each year these corn decorations are completely stripped down(剥下)and entirely new murals are created. The Corn Palace is a great tourist attraction and a meeting place for the community. Many events are held here and the most popular is the Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo. But the horses must be watched carefully so that they don’t eat the building!
