One of the most famous places sites in America- Mount Rushmore, located in the Black Hills of western South Dakota. I have been there five times in my life [ once it was too foggy to actually see the presidents} Has to be on the list of places to see at least once. More impressive to me has always been The Badlands which is not far away. You hear regularly- should they add another president to the side of the mountain? I don’t see that ever happening- what work that would be. It took from 1927-41 for Gutzon Borglum and his son Lincoln to complete this job.
Did they pick the right four presidents to put up there? Since it was started in the late 1920’s- no one after that time could have been considered. I think they did select four of the most significant presidents up until that point in time. If they did add a 5th who would it be? Most likely F.D.R. I would reckon.
I’ll be seeing Mount Rushmore in the next couple weeks. I’m pretty excited about it!
FDR would be my choice as well. The highway leading to this iconic site is cluttered with tacky tourist “come-ons.”
You aren’t speaking of Wall Drug are you? lol
