Answer 2

Mount Rushmore was completed in 1941 by Gutzon Borglum!

Answer 3

The idea of Mt. Rushmore was conceived in 1924 by State Historian Doane Robinson. He believed that carved faces of western heroes would attract more visitors to the area. After a lengthly lobbying period, in which he tried to persuade government officials to allow and support this art, the Mt. Rushmore project began on October 4, 1927 by Gutzon Borglum.

The faces were finished at seperate times and dedicated as they were finished. George Washington was the first on July 4, 1934 and Thomas Jefferson in 1936. Abraham Lincoln was to follow on September 17, 1937. The last face to be dedicated was Theodore roosevelt in 1939.

The work was still not completed although the faces had been dedicated. Gutzon died in 1941 leaving the work to his son, Lincoln who worked 7 months on the project until funding ran out.

The Mt. rushmore project is as complete as it will ever be, although one could say it was never completely finished.
