Greatness be nothing unless it be lasting. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Mount Rushmore Memorial is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, 23 miles from Rapid City.
Between 1927 and 1941, Gutzon Borglum and 400 workers sculpted the 60-foot busts of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln to represent the first 150 years of American history.
Hence, let us place there, carved high, as close to heaven as we can, the words of our leaders, their faces, to show posterity what manner of men they were. Then breathe a prayer that these records will endure until the wind and the rain alone shall wear them away.”
– Gutzon Borglum
