Mount Rushmore

Although the purpose of this site is to attract tourists to South Dakota, it can also be of use to students. The site describes the beginnings of the monument from the inception of the idea and search for a site to the actual carving by Gutzon Borglum. The Mount Rushmore page includes many clear and quick-to-load photographs. The Web site also includes information about the preservation efforts now underway and on how to plan a visit to the park.
