Constructing Rushmore
Constructing Mount Rushmore in Black Hills, South Dakota was an enormous task that took almost 13 years to complete. Over 400 people worked to carve the president’s faces into the mountainside. At the time the photo was taken, the worker was busy carving Jefferson’s eyelid in 1934.
The original plans for the monument were to carve out their entire bodies, but the plan soon proved to be too ambitious. Before long, the project ran out of both time and money, so the project has to stop at their heads. The work was completed in 1939.
