Venture into the world of Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor of Mount Rushmore, from the blasting of the stone to the grandeur of the "Seated Lincoln." The Borglum Story will enable children and adults to step back in time and become part of the carving years. On the tour you will meet the artist, his family and the famous people who were his friends. Stand alongside the full-sized eye of Lincoln, an exact replica of the eye on the mountain. Step back in time as our exclusive film, narrated by Senator Tom Daschle, takes you and Borglum to the top of the monument on the cable car. Visit the museum to get the full Rushmore experience, and explore his other accomplishments. Discover what motivated Gutzon Borglum and why he began at age 60 what men half his age wouldn't attempt.
