Description
Mount Rushmore National Memorial is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Historian Doane Robinson conceived the idea for Mount Rushmore in 1923 to promote tourism in South Dakota.
Between October 4, 1927 and October 31, 1941, sculptor Gutzon Borglum and 400 workers sculpted the 60-foot (18m) high carvings of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln to represent the first 150 years of American history.
This picture was taken in September 1993 and later scanned.
Thanks for visiting,

I was there many years ago, I was around 12 and I remember it so well, such a stunning thing to see. My mom is from South Dakota so we had taken a family trip mom and dad and us four kids... this was way before I-pods and all the junk that everyone has to take everywhere and we just really enjoyed seeing all the countryside and fun experiences. Like iceskating on a frozen lake in our shoes haha that was fun and seeing snow fall for the first time, I had of course seen snow in California but hadn't yet experience seeing it fall til that trip. Nice to see again!!

The first time I saw it was watching the Alfred Hitchcock movie 'North by Northwest' with Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint and it whetted my appetite to see the American Midwest (where the crop duster was trying to get Cary Grant) and of course Mt. Rushmore. The first time I saw it in person was in summer 1973 when I moved from New Jersey to Arizona.

We've visited there before and just to stand there and stare is the most awesome and awed feeling that you get. Excellent job !
