AMERICAN EXPERIENCE
TUESDAY, JUNE 30 @ 6:00PM & 11:00PM
High on a granite cliff in South Dakota’s Black Hills tower the huge carved faces of four American presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Together they constitute the world’s largest piece of sculpture.
The story of Mount Rushmore’s creation is as bizarre and wonderful as the monument itself. It is the tale of a hyperactive, temperamental artist whose talent and determination propelled the project, even as his ego and obsession threatened to tear it apart.
