Mount Rushmore National Memorial

Mount Rushmore National Memorial
Workers used drills and dynamite to carve the faces of presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln into the granite wall of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota’s Black Hills. American sculptor Gutzon Borglum designed and supervised the work on the memorial from 1927 until his death in 1941. Borglum’s son, Lincoln, directed the conclusion of the work.
