The Sculptor’s Studio
displays Borglum’s original
models of the four presidents,
scaled on a 1:12 ratio
(one model inch equals one
foot on the mountain).
The most spectacular
program at Mount
Rushmore is the Evening
Lighting Ceremony held in
the Amphitheater at
9 p.m. sharp nightly during
the summer season.
A ranger introduces
a 20-minute movie on
Mount Rushmore. Then,
with the tune of the “Star
Spangled Banner” in the
background, huge banks
of floodlights dramatically
reveal the four presidential
faces, stark white against
the black, starry Dakota
sky. That’s when hearts
swell with patriotism – and
a renewed dedication to
our nation and its founding
principals of democracy
and freedom. n
