Sculptor Gutzon Borglum was chosen to design and carve the massive sculptures, which began in 1927 and took 14 years to complete.The choice of presidents was significant, representing key periods in American history: Washington for the founding era, Jefferson for westward expansion, Roosevelt for conservation and the progressive era, and Lincoln for preserving the Union during the Civil War. Mount Rushmore was officially dedicated on October 31, 1941.Today, Mount Rushmore is a symbol of American democracy and a popular tourist destination, drawing millions of visitors each year who come to admire both the artistic achievement and the historical significance of the monument.🚕 Google Maps to Mt Rushmore🎥 Mount Rushmore history-------------------------------------------------------⬇️ Help us keep the show going and explore history with us! ⬇️☕️ Say thanks with a cup of coffee 😁🧳 Get free travel resources in your inbox.
