MountRushmore

Located in Keystone, South Dakota is a large granite sculpture that has thrilled vacationers and casual visitors for decades. This is the 150 year national history and has 4 of the president's heads blasted and chiseled out of the mountainside. The presidents that are represented are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, and the park is maintained by the National Park Service.

The mountain that is known as Mount Rushmore was originally known as the Six Grandfathers by the native American tribe of the Lakota. In 1876 the United States claimed control of the area (a claim that is still disputed) and the mountain was known by many different names, such as Cougar Mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain, Slaughterhouse Mountain, and Keystone Cliffs. In 1924 the work was given to Gutzon Borglum to complete and he began work shortly thereafter. The entire project cost just under a million dollars and amazingly not one worker lost his life during the work.
