There is far more to Mount Rushmore than four granite heads on a hill.
The giant heads are most impressive, portraying pivotal men in American history worthy of being studied and remembered. But there is a backstory—with some notable hidden gems—behind these prominent sculptures in the Black Hills of South Dakota that not all Americans are aware of.
Besides the colorful saga of the sculptor, a fugitive artist on the run from out of state, there is what some call a “secret” tunnel burrowing some 70 feet into the heart of the mountain behind the head of Abraham Lincoln.
No kidding….
