George Washington got his face started on Mount Rushmore when the carving began on October 4, 1927. However, it was not completed until years later with a special dedication on July 4, 1930.

Washington was chosen by the sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, because Washington was the father of our country, leader of the American Revolution, our country's first president, as well as one who laid the foundation for our American Democracy.
