From Ordinary Mountains In 1922 To The Iconic Mount Rushmore

One of the most iconic landmarks in the United States, Mount Rushmore started out like any other mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1922. Little did locals know at the time that it would eventually become a sculpture that symbolizes the entire country, attracting three million visitors yearly.

The mastermind behind Mount Rushmore was Gutzon Borglum, a renowned sculptor who started carving the mountain in 1927. Over 14 years later, a monument honoring four outstanding United States presidents was born.
