Mount Rushmore: Telling America's Stories focuses on the new interpretive program at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, spearheaded by Supt. Gerard Baker. In addition to telling the traditional stories of the carving of the mountain and of the four presidents memorialized there, the program now highlights the stories and cultures of all Americans, including American Indians, imparting a more complex and complete understanding of the National Parks and the legacies they protect.

  • greetings from the 51st state of Puerto Rico! I was there this past june and all i can say is that i wanna go back. I missed Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse monument, the black hills, custer state park, keystone,etc. I had a great time with my family in South Dakota. i hope to go there again with the favor of God.

  • If anyone can tell us, is there a way to get from Rapid City Airport to Mount Rushmore.

  • It's pure irony that President Jefferson, of all presidents, is honored in the Mt. Rushmore sculpture in the heart of the Lakota sacred Black Hills, while he was the US President who was most influential in developing policies to remove the Indians from their traditional homelands
