Mount Rushmore National Memorial RV Vacation
About Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota
Mount Rushmore isn’t just a perfect destination for history buffs, but for anyone who wants to celebrate America. The creator, Gutzon Borglum, chose the four faces — George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln — to represent what he saw as the most important events in our time as a country. And because it is located in the beautiful Black Hills region, you can hike and explore the surrounding areas for some outdoor recreation.
