Visit Mitchell South Dakota
Pictures and Information
Traveling north from Tripp South Dakota on Hwy 37, you come to the city of Mitchell. Mitchell has a population of 14,558 and is the closest "large" city to Tripp, 30 miles to the south. I suspect that most people that work, commute to either Mitchell, Yankton, or Sioux Falls.
Mitchell is growing into a large city quickly. All the major hotel chains seem to be located on the south side of Mitchell, and some major shopping stores like a Superwalmart, Menard's, and Cabelas. Cabelas also has a Saturday and Sunday Breakfast Buffet for $6.99.
On the north side of Mitchell, however, there is also some shopping centers, along with an outdoor drive (which is now defunct... boo hoo) Starlite Drive In, and the Lake Mitchell Campground.
Probably the most popular attraction in Mitchell is the Corn Palace, which is located on Main Street in the historic business district. It is not hard to find because there are signs on every street directing you to it. They change the theme of the Corn Palace artwork every year. Yes, it's made from Corn on the Cob. This year the theme is "A Tribute to Rodeo 2007"
Also while in Mitchell, visit the Dakota Discovery Museum, and the Prehistoric Indian Village.
