The faces on Mount Rushmore were planned and carved by sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who began the project in 1927. He envisioned the monument as a tribute to American democracy and chose the four presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Borglum oversaw the construction until his death in 1941, after which his son, Lincoln Borglum, completed the project. The carving was done using dynamite and finer tools, showcasing Borglum's artistic vision and engineering skills.
