History As Told Through Corn (Seriously) | History Traveler Episode 77 

I remember going through Mitchell and seeing the Corn Palace as a kid in 1968 or 69. Wish I could remember what the murals were at that time. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

History traveler. I'm finally taking time to say your history "trips." are awesome. No one needs to guess that you love history! I obviously do as well. I have watched all 77 Episodes. I hope this is ok, but I wanted to ask if any followers ever have asked about traveling to a specific place you haven't covered?? You might know; ? but there was a special project some years back to establish a World War II memorial in the state of Arizona. The project was called the "bookends" I know I'm not up to date on the details but the reason why it was going to be called the Bookends, was because it was going to be a display of an actual gun from the USS MO. (representing the end of WWII and a gun off the USS ARIZONA/ the beginning) I will never be able to travel there to see how they finished the display memorial type museum, but I have special interest in it; My uncle gave his life; December 7, 1941/USS ARIZONA. I would be grateful to see how they finished that. Thank you so much for your passion for history. I know you are a great history teacher. Thank you Thank you!! And God Bless you. I believe that a passion for history is also a mark of a PATRIOT.

I really like the corn palace !! Years ago , we went to the Corn Palace and it had burned . The murals are lovely. So unique. I am excited about this great video 🤩🤩 Thankyou History Underground

I consider myself a native South Dakotan. Moved here from Kansas as a boy. Have lived here since 1972. This is the best state to live in bar none. Winters can be a challenge but nothing we can't handle. There are two parts to South Dakota, and residents of either one take pride in being from that part. The Missouri River is the dividing line. Parts east are known as "East River", and those west as "West River". East being mainly farming, and Urban, I.E. flat landers, and west being mainly ranching, prairie, and mountains. I'm an East River small town South Dakotan. We all love it here.

I am constantly amazed at the creativity of humanity. Thanks for this!

What a neat place with very talented people to make a palace out of corn.My sister went there a few years ago. She brought back great close up pictures of the corn It was beautiful.I grow Indian Corn and use it for decoration an we eat it as well.It really looks good on a Thanksgiving Table.😁🖒

I saw pictures of the Corn Palace in my grade school geography books. Glad they're keeping the tradition alive.

You and your channel are the only reason I watched this - anyone else and I move on. Always interesting and compelling. :)

Holy cow. I am 72 years old and I have never heard a a corn palace. Only in the good old US of A. Hey! If that palace were to catch on fire would it cover the whole area with popcorn?

Very interesting! I knew about the Corn Palace, but you did the most thorough presentation about it that I ever heard. Good work!

I forgot to say also; my husband and I traveled to SD and saw the Corn Palace. A really fun trip on our motor cycle. And of course we did see Mt Rushmore. It is all amazing.

Amazing 😉 the only word I can use to describe the “Corn Palace” !!! Thank you for sharing your adventures 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Coming from an Agriculture background. this the part of history I love most 😁

🌽🌽🌽, you gotta love it. Food, artwork, and a palace. Great story. Another wonderful place that I would never have had the chance to visit. Thank you for the tour. 💪🇺🇸

Just signed up for your patreon. Anybody who visits the corn palace deserves my support 😂. Actually been meaning to for a while. I drove by once on the way to California. My buddy made me pull off the freeway to see it. We were driving a semi, so didn't stop, but I will if I ever get back that way again. Thanks for the video. 👍

Wow, never heard of this, very interesting and well placed together video story. Enjoyed. Be safe and take care.

Love your videos man. Only wish they were longer, but thats just me being selfish lol

Been to the Corn Palace. The murals are amazing.

Awesome video. I never would think there was an actual corn palace haha. When are you posting your Currahee video? I'm looking forward to that one.

You use to Bull Ride?..So Cool, We Watch Bull Riding..This Too, Was Very Cool..

I have never heard of these corn palaces. Thank you for sharing.

Very nicely done keep up the good work. I'm a good ol South Dakota boy and I really like your videos I have watched several videos and I like the way that you present them. Keep up the good work and I will keep watching.

that one certainly caught my ear. Neat video.

I never thought I would see this again, back in the mid 60's we were on a family vacation. We started in southern Indiana up to Wisconsin Dell's then to S. Dakota then down thru Wyoming to Denver. Gas was cheaper back in the day.

Glad to see you are in the good old state of South Dakota. As a South Dakota resident I hope you enjoy this great state. Gotta stop at MT Rushmore.

that corona village is a good one. The people that run it are great.

Excellent...I visited there in the early 90's ...I hope you keep going west ...Thanks...

This was seriously one of my favorite places to visit as a kid! My Dad took me here all the time lol

Who woulda thought a corn palace WASNT in IOWA haha

Great vid! Had no idea about the corn palace. Cool fact about your bull riding days. I rode a few myself back in the day. Never got seriously hurt but been stepped on and hooked a few times. Thank God for safety vests lol 🤠

Must have been driving at night through that area when I was leaving Mt. Rushmore, 'cause I missed that little gem. Thanks.

I was there 40 yrs ago on a motorcycle ride from CA to VA and back. A very impressive place.🏍💨

Very interesting. I had no idea. Keep up the good work.

😲 okay then! Interesting

So very cool. Thanks for sharing this.

I would have loved to have been able to do what you're doing JD. If I had of had the tech we have today, I'd have done what you're doing JD. Awesome video JD, thank you for doing these for us.

In Plattsmouth NB we always had the King Corn Carnival and you would hear, Corn is King.

This was awesome!!! Totally off the cusp, but awesome!!!

Hi! I've been enjoying your videos over the past few days almost non stop. Very well put together and filmed... Thank you for the lessons and vacation ideas. I'd like to invite you to a gem in the Detroit area where things like the JFK assassination car, Edison's lab, homes of notable figures in history, the Ford assembly line and the Wright Brothers cycle shop can all be found among an outstanding collection of historical artifacts. Located in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village is a massive property with much to see. Thehenryford.org would be a starting point in planning a visit. I'd love to see this amazing location in your collection and hope you can consider it. I know you will find it wildly interesting. As a Detroit area native, I'm happy to welcome you to Michigan and can also provide other suggestions for visiting our beautiful state.

Wow amazing ty for showing how the pics use of corn and other uses of corn 😁😊

Awww shucks, that was so interesting...👍🏻 good job...did you get something to go at Corona Mexican Restaurant?

We have loads of castles here in the UK too! No corn palaces though. Typically American and brilliant.

No video clip of you playing the chickens in tic-tac-toe? Did you lose?😂🤣

Thank you very much.

Q: "Palace made of corn huh?" A: "Yup."

This is my dream come true.

That's a corny joke Corona village great video thanks for sharing 🇺🇸

thank you its cool

Do they show the evolution of corn itself? From what I read the corn we see in the groceries these days are different from the corn grown in previous centuries?

Cracker Barrel has a new dish that is served on a plate made by Corona.

Here in Canada we got the big Apple which is a museum I think lol

Wow lol never knew about this before.

My parents went to Mitchell South Dakota at the corn palace.

Wow I never knew of these.

Cool.

Corona village? You're in South Dakota. It's all good. :-)

I’ve been here in just few days ago

I thought this was going to be corny........It's pretty dang neat! I wonder if they have a mouse/rat/bird problem?

aw shucks, this was a great one

Oh my goodness! I’ve been there!!! When I was in high school my family took a 3 week cross country trek and this was one of our many stops. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy watching your videos!

Props on being a bull rider man! I just wrecked my motorcycle and snapped my femur like a twig, so I know how awful it is to hurt yaself in such a way. I still ride, I hope you do to but a freakin bull is a whole different beast than a Honda rebel, so i understand if ya dont lol

I wonder how they made them bricks out of corn and what kind of rat poison they use.

Did you eat any caramel corn when you were there? It's yummy

My father was part Cherokee Indian both of my parents are gone.

I bet that place really pops if it caught on fire!

Bull riding, the bull always wins, even when he loses.

About 8:32, how did you completely ignore the corn-portrait of Howard Hughes?! Is that HH? It is, right?

Me... oh something interesting Me afternoon video starts...well shit... ive been there not interesting 🤣🤣🤣

That was an a"maize"ing video. A corn palace. For a second there I had thought you had said porn palace. ROFLMAO

If you kept all that corn wet for a few days, would it sprout?!?

I'll have a Corona Extra - hold the virus...

Been there. An amazingly corny place!

corned

Been here before. Very underwhelming. It's not even made of corn. The building is a contemporary building with corn murals hung on and inside the building

History told through corn: 🔊 four score and seven. ears ago. 🎙🌽

That's kind of Corney lol

partly corn***

Corona is just Spanish for crown. Not a big deal!

Absolutely corny. Sorry had to say it.

At last I understand the song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CcopLgv8S8g.html
