In this podcast, we will be discussing the Mount Rushmore project. We have a recorded interview between our resident history expert, Jeananne Xenakis and our guest Matt Sweigart, An Interpretive Ranger at Mount Rushmore.

Completed in 1941 under the direction of Gutzon Borglum and his son Lincoln, the sculpture's roughly 60-ft.-high granite faces depict U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. The site also features a museum with interactive exhibits.

You will be interested to know that the way Mount Rushmore was completed, was not the way the project was initially imagined. There were discussions of other historical figures being carved prior to the 4 presidents you see today.

I know you are thinking, "Now who could it be!?" …but you’ll have to listen to the rest of the podcast.

There is always more to learn!
