Mt. Rushmore - Boardwalk Fine Art

Mt. Rushmore
by James Poai

How would you like your face memorialized on a 60-foot stone carving? American sculptor John Gutzon Borglum chose George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln for Mt. Rushmore because he felt they represented the most important events in U.S. history. If you look carefully at the tourists gazing up at the mountain you might see each of these former presidents dressed in their period clothes. These are only a few of the fun Easter eggs hidden in this image. This art is part of our National Parks Collection.
