Mount Rushmore

The Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a national memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota featuring a 60-foot-tall sculpture of the heads of four United States presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. The sculpture was designed by Gutzon Borglum and took 14 years to complete from 1927 to 1941. The land on which the sculpture is built was originally part of the Sioux Nation and was taken illegally by the US government in the 1870s, leading to a long-standing conflict over the land and its ownership.learn more on wikipedia
