My husband and son and I stopped to see the corn palace on the way to Yellowstone and were disappointed that it was being refurbished. When we saw the Bible museum across the street we went in to get a T shirt and forgot all about the Corn Palace. We had a wonderful time visiting and touring the tabernacle replica and other Holy Land displays. It was well worth our stop. Very inspirational and friendly. This stop was one of the highlights of our two week trip out west.
Me and my friends are on the way back to Upper Michigan from YellowStone National Park, and went to this town to see the corn palace. Then we found this secret place, which is both peaceful and exciting. The owner is really friendly and fun, it's so nice to have someone welcome you in such a comfortable way after a long tired trip, and the museum is even beyond gorgeous! Highly recommended.
My family and I really enjoyed the Tabernacle. Mr Iancu and his wife are very kind and generous people. There was so much to do and see, life size dioramas, real olive wood hand carvings, a jungle for the kids to play and even little shops with everything under the sun to purchase. You can even get discounts on your purchases by answering trivia questions from the bible. I highly recommend this stop, it was truly incredible and we even made some new wonderful friends!! Thank you!!!
We were greeted immediately at the door by Valtiroty and given a personal tour of the exhibits. It was very enjoyable, and we were challenged to think more deeply about our faith in Christ. We would highly recommend a stop here. The displays depicting Bible stories would be especially appealing to children, although, as adults, we liked it very much.
a friend and I stopped in... the beautiful building caught our eye and we went inside.. The owner started to show us around and we ended up chatting for over 2 hours... very nice people, and very educated also... I will stop down to say hello every time i come to the area...
We stopped in Mitchell to check out the Corn Palace--a place we knew nothing about but felt we had to go due to all the brainwashing signs on the highway. Valtiroty was across the street, in an intriguing castle structure. We decided to go in and were greeted by the friendly owner who showed us around the museum that he planned and built. It was unlike anything I have ever seen and definitely an experience, as he told us how he had planned the layout of the museum. There is also a shop in the rooms before the museum with various religious items (clothing, decorations etc.) All in all, it was an interesting stop with a very generous and kind host... and much more engaging than the Corn Palace.
In not religious and at first only went in to cynically laugh at this middle american bible destination. However I was impressed with the historical content of the display and the work the owner had put into it. I have traveled coast to coast on this trip and he was the nicest person I met and his gift shop had many oddly useful things to buy along with the piles of bible themed clothes and knick knacks
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Tabernacle. We enjoyedour time speaking with the owner. We would recommend this Biblical experience to all.
I've lived in Mitchell area all my life and last summer I took my nieces downtown to see the Corn Palace and they saw the Tabernacle and so we went inside. They just loved it. It was perfect for them.
Some friends and I stopped in while returning from a very disappointing corn palace. we warmly greeted at the door, given a free tour of the tabernacle. and learned so much while we were there. very accurate and biblical explanations. all in all a great stop.
