South Dakota State Historian Doane Robinson had the idea for sculptures in the Black Hills to commemorate heroes of the Old West. He invited Gutzon Borglum to visit South Dakota and look into building such a sculpture. Gutzon Borglum suggested that a memorial with a national character would appeal better to the American people and suggested the four presidents.
Gutzon Borglum began work on Mount Rushmore in 1927, with the help of hundreds of workers. Gutzon's son, Lincoln, also supervised the work on Mount Rushmore and finished the monument after his father died in 1941.
