What has 60-foot high faces, eyes 11 feet across, noses 20 feet long, and
mouths that stretch 18 feet and is visited by 2.5 million people a year?
Mount Rushmore - located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The sculpted
heads of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore
Roosevelt were carved from a solid mass of granite. Sculptor Gutzon
Borglum was commissioned in 1927 to carve the massive tourist attraction.
It took 14 years to complete and cost a mere $1 million, and is now
considered priceless.
