Carved into the granite of the Black Hills in South Dakota, the four faces of Mount Rushmore show Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, each roughly 60 feet tall. Work on the monument began in 1927 under sculptor Gutzon Borglum and continued until 1941, when funding ran out and the project ended, with Borglum's son Lincoln overseeing the final stage. Jefferson's face sits second from the left, and it was the feature that Borglum reworked most often, shifting the eyes and brow in the process. The memorial was designed to celebrate the nation's growth and early history, and it remains one of the most recognized sculptures in the country.
