Mount Rushmore

I have learned how it got its name, by a man walking by and being nice. I also learned where it is, South Dakota. The most interesting fact, to me, is that no one died while building it. I learned that they used “honeycomb drilling” which is drilling small individual holes next to each other. This was built during the Great Depression. They had many money issues.
You should visit Mount Rushmore because it is a major monument that represents our country very well. It took over fourteen years to build, you could stop by it once to see the dedication. It is a great site worth seeing. Many millions of people have gone to South Dakota just to see Mount Rushmore and its surroundings. Famous people have said that seeing Mount Rushmore in person, isn't even close to seeing it in real life.

  1. I'm sorry, I typed my last sentence wrong. It should say: Famous people have said that seeing Mount Rushmore in pictures, isn't even close to seeing it in real life.

  2. That's how it got it's name? Very interesting! I didn't know that it was built during the Great Depression, I'm sure they had a lot of money issues. I'd really like to visit Mount Rushmore someday. I think it would be a great thing to see. Great post Ana! :)

  3. I forgot some of that stuff! I did a report on Mount Rushmore in 6th grade. I've always wanted to see it. I think how it got its name is really weird. What did the man do - be the first visitor? Good post, Lisa!
    P.S. I understand what you mean in the last sentence. :D
