Crazy Horse Memorial is situated on one of the tallest pegmatite granite mountains in the Black Hills. The famous sculpture is the largest in the world and was initiated by Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear’s persistent appeals to sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski. Campus highlights include the Nature Gates, the Welcome Center, the Indian Museum of North America, the sculptor’s home-studio, and the Native American Educational & Culture Center. Visitors learn about the memorial, explore exhibits, and enjoy performances by Native American dancers. There is a restaurant and gift store, too. Optional bus rides to the base of the mountain allow guests to see the carving up close.
