The Sculptors Studio, Mount Rushmore, SD

If you ever wondered what tools were used to construct the incredible Mount Rushmore, you can take a look at them as well as the unique plaster models which served as the artist's inspiration at The Sculptors Studio in Keystone, SD. This is the second on-site studio built in 1939 by sculptor Gutzon Borglum, and it is open spring through fall. Fifteen-minute talks scheduled throughout the day explore the artist's methods and show his original plaster model and tools.

Come learn about the planning, inspiration, and hard work behind the historic faces of Mount Rushmore, and also engage in discussions and children's activities.
