Nothing of any great historical importance happened at Mt. Rushmore, unless you consider the carving itself to historical.

Egypt Was The Great Sphinx

Not many movies at all come to think of it. There are some patriotic movies that have Mount Rushmore in them, but as far as indie films go, i cannot think of many. One movie I can think of though, is The second National Treasure with Nicolas Cage. The movie takes place around Mount Rushmore the movie ends in front of Mount Rushmore next to the gift shop. Not a very widely used location, but a great location for anyone who wants to film a movie there someday.
There is nothing in the Great Sphinx as it is not hollow.
