Description
Mount Rushmore, the President's Mountain, is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor who had been working on the monument at Stone Mountain, Georgia, began the project in 1927, after Congress agreed to match up to $250,000 of funding for the project and created the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Commission. Work began on the project. By 1933, the Mount Rushmore project became part of the National Park Service. Borglum did not like having the NPS oversee the construction. However, he continued to work on the project until his death in 1941. The monument was deemed complete and ready for dedication on October 31, 1941. The four presidents honored in the monument are from left to right George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
