Davison County, South Dakota
Davison County is right in the heart of southeast South Dakota. Mitchell is the county seat and is famous for its Corn Palace. It’s a quirky attraction and claims to be the world’s only corn palace.
The county got its name from Henry C. Davison, a politician. Farming is the backbone of the local economy. You’ll see plenty of cornfields around here.
The Dakota Wesleyan University campus adds some youthful energy. Fishing at Lake Mitchell is a popular pastime. Yep, this includes ice fishing in the freezing winters.
