Mount Rushmore National Memorial is located in southwestern South Dakota, near the town of Keystone. It contains the sculptures of the faces of former U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Managed by the National Park Service, a bureau of the United States Department of the Interior, this monument is visited by about two million people each year.
Approved by President Calvin Coolidge, the carving on Mount Rushmore began in 1927 and was completed in 1941.
