What Happened Today? October 4th

Today's event happened 85 years ago.

On October 4, 1927, construction begins in South Dakota for the Mount Rushmore monument. This carving on the side of a mountain features the faces of four Presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.  The monument was finally completed in 1939.

Mount Rushmore is another place in America that I would love to see in person one day.
