Return to visit Mt. Rushmore
Mt. Rushmore is probably the most famous feature in South Dakota's Black Hills. It features U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
Some cool Mt. Rushmore trivia:
- Sculptor Gutzon Borglum's original design was a sculpture of the four presidents intended to go down to their waists, but lack of time and money only allowed for their heads
- Thomas Jefferson’s face on Mount Rushmore was originally started on the opposite side of George Washington, but 18 months into the carving, they realized the granite was too weak. His face was dynamited off and carved on the other side.
- Due to unforeseen vulnerabilities in the granite, Lincoln and Jefferson were moved from the locations in Borglum's original design. Lincoln was shifted to the spot that Borglum had planned to include an 80-by-100-foot inscription in the shape of the Louisiana Purchase.
