Review & FAQ:

There are few locations more patriotic than the massive stone faces of four of the United States of America’s most influential leaders carved into the mountain side. Mt. Rushmore, SD recognizes this special position they hold during Independence Day and celebrates accordingly with a unique collection of events and activities. Traditionally on the holiday there are actors dressed as each president – Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, and Thomas Jefferson – who hold news conferences, answer questions, pose for photographs, and sign autographs. Also in attendance are military bands playing patriotic music, various local performers, and a flag folding ceremony.
