Borglum Historical Center, Rushmore Borglum Story
Keystone, South Dakota
Sculptor Gutzon Borglum designed and carved lots of other works besides Mt. Rushmore, which this attraction takes pains to point out. But look where it is -- practically across the street from those four big Prez heads. It knows what its visitors want to see....
Even if you don't explore the museum, you can pose in front of an outdoor replica of the Stone Mountain Confederate leaders carving, or share a bench with Borglum's "Seated Lincoln" sculpture. But one truly ego-inflating photo op allows you to substitute yourself as a Mt. Rushmore head.
There's also a full-size replica of the giant eyeball of Lincoln. Not everyone appreciates art, but everyone respects BIG art.
