Mount Rushmore

"Situated in South Dakota’s Black Hills and just 30 miles southwest of Rapid City is one of the most popular US attractions: Mount Rushmore.


Sixty feet of presidential portraits carved into the granite tower over you, leaving you breathless and awe-struck.


Four American presidents are forever represented in the monument: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.


Each one was chosen to represent the growth and development of the nation.


The monument is visited by more than two million people annually to take in the beauty and admire the sculpture.


The Hall of Records houses the country’s most important artifacts and gives visitors a peek into American history.


The Sculptor’s Studio houses a 1/12th scale model of Mount Rushmore, as well as tools and techniques workers used to create the monument."
