Mount Rushmore took 14 years to complete and cost $989,992.32 to build. The four faces carved into the mountain are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. There were no deaths during the time it took to build Mount Rushmore. Because the faces are made of granite, they are estimated to erode only 1 inch every 10,000 years. Mount Rushmore is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. media type="custom" key="9216466"
