Which four US presidents are depicted on Mount Rushmore?
Correct!
The heads of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln are carved into the granite of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. The sculptor Gutzon Borglum chose them because, in his mind, they represented key phases in the history of the United States: Washington the founding, Jefferson the expansion, Theodore Roosevelt the development and Lincoln the preservation of the Union. Work on the monument took place from 1927 to 1941.
Mount Rushmore features George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
