One lesser-known fact about Mount Rushmore is that the original design included the presidents from the waist up, but due to the granite's quality and budget constraints, only the heads were completed. Additionally, the sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, initially intended to depict the presidents holding important documents, but this feature was never realized. The monument's construction also faced challenges, including weather conditions and the loss of funding, which contributed to its eventual design changes.

Why is there only 4 faces on Mount Rushmore?

There are only four presidents carved on Mount Rushmore because there was only room for four. In fact, they had to move the carving of Thomas Jefferson from the right side of George Washington to the left side due to very large cracks found in the rock. Each president represents a period in American history. Washington represents the founding of America, Jefferson represents the expansion of America (through the Louisiana Purchase), Lincoln represents the preservation of America, and Roosevelt represents America in the modern era.
