Mitchell is located in southeastern South Dakota and has a population of approximately 15,000 residents. It serves as the county seat for Davison County and is the major city for the Mitchell Micropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Davison and Hanson Counties. Mitchell is home to several unique attractions, including the Corn Palace, a building that is decorated with several colors of dried corn and grains creating colorful murals. The building itself is used for several purposes including a basketball arena, the local high school prom, trade shows and staged entertainment. Another major attraction in Mitchell is the Dakota Discovery Museum, whose mission is the history of the prairie and the people who settled it. The museum covers a time period from 1600 when the Native Americans were undiscovered to 1939 at the end of the Great Depression. The Dakota Discovery Museum is a caliber not often found in small Midwestern towns, and holds one of the most complete and pristine collections of American Indian quill and bead-works in the world. Four authentic historical buildings are located in the village behind the museum. Mitchell is also home to the Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village, an archaeological site where scientists are excavating a Native American village, believed to have been occupied by ancestors of the present Mandan residing in North Dakota.
