Mount Rushmore National Monument was built to foster an understanding of US history and cultures and the importance of caring for that legacy. Mount Rushmore is also known as "The Shrine of Democracy", a symbol of freedom and hope for people from all cultures and backgrounds.
"The purpose of the memorial is to communicate the founding, expansion, preservation, and unification of the United States with colossal statues of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt." Gutzon Borglum

No, mount Rushmore is a giant cliff with faces of some of the faces of presidents on it.
The faces on Mount Rushmore are those of former presidents, and to date (January 2016) there have been no female presidents of the United States.
The carving of the faces on Mount Rushmore started in 1927, and ended in 1941.
In order to be able to print out pumpkin faces you would need to visit the site, http://www.squidoo.com/pumpkin-carving-faces. The faces available go from classic to scary. Fun for all ages :).
The faces of the presidents carved into Mount Rushmore are manmade, but the granite into which the faces are carved is natural.
