Wall, South Dakota



Missouri River



We are now in Wall, the home of the famous Wall Drug Store.  It opened in 1931 and in 1936 the owners started giving free ice water to people travelling thru the area in order to attract business! We saw lots of fields of sunflowers today too! Yesterday we toured the Corn Palace which was interesting.  The murals on the building are made and changed once a year.  They are made of corn and locally grown grasses.  Amazing!  Tomorrow we are going to the Badlands.  It is amazing how vast the land is out here!  You can see forever!
