Mount Rushmore, located in Keystone, South Dakota, commemorates the birth, growth, preservation, and development of the United States of America.

Mount Rushmore National Park is 5.17 km².
Between 1927 and October 31, 1941, Gutzon Borglum and 400 workers sculpted colossal 60-foot busts of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln that represent the first 150 years of United States history.
Tourists go first to see the granite sculpture, but also for the interesting "Sculptor's Studio" built in 1939 under the direction of the artist, Gutzon Borglum.

The only plaster models and the tools used in the sculpture are displayed there.
Ten years of reconstruction work recently culminated in an extensive network of facilities and sidewalks.

These include a new visitor center and museum and trails that provide spectacular up-close views of the sculpture.

Maintenance of the monument is a unique challenge for conservators, sometimes requiring scaling the mountain to remove lichen and generally cleaning the sculpture.
