Mount Rushmore National Memorial, near Keystone, South
Dakota, is a United States Presidential Memorial that
represents the first 150 years of the history of the
United States of America with the 60-foot (18 m)
sculptures of former U.S. Presidents George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham
Lincoln. The entire memorial covers 1,278 acres (5.17
km˛), and is 5,725 feet (1,745 m) above sea level. It is
managed by the National Park Service, a bureau of the
United States Department of the Interior. The memorial
attracts around 2 million people annually. The mountain
known to the Lakota Sioux as Six Grandfathers was
renamed after Charles E. Rushmore, a prominent New York
lawyer, in 1885. The project of carving Mount Rushmore
originally started with the purpose of increasing
tourism in the Black Hills region of South Dakota. After
long negotiations involving a Congressional delegation
and President Calvin Coolidge, the project received
Congressional approval. The carving started in 1927 and
ended in 1941, and though there were a few injuries, no
deaths occurred. Mount Rushmore National Memorial is an
excellent family destination where millions come each
year to see the magnificent sculptures, gain
inspiration, and experience the great outdoors.
