Mount Rushmore South Dakota USA Postcard

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is centred around a sculpture carved into the granite face of Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills in Keystone, South Dakota. The design of the sculpture was overseen by Gutzon Borglum from 1927 to 1941 with the help of his son Lincoln Borglum. The sculptures feature the 60-foot heads of Presidents George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865). Doane Robinson is the South Dakotan historian who is credited with conceiving the idea of carving the likenesses of famous people into the Black Hills region of South Dakota in order to promote tourism in the region.
