Mount Rushmore is one of the biggest marvels of the modern world. It is the sculpture of 4 important United States presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. These sculptures are eternalized in the state of South Dakota. The sculpture took seven years to finish and had more that 300 workers put their hands on the structure that stands more than 66 feet. Mount Rushmore was completed as the United States entered into the WW2.

The artist behind the unforgettable structure was Gutzon Burglum, who was born in Idaho. Americans wanted to build the biggest monument in the world to pay tribute to their past presidents and Gutzon found the right dimensions to invest his talents into.
