Mt. Rushmore Turns 70

From ABC News.

Can you name the four presidents on Mt. Rushmore?

The huge monument was declared complete Oct. 31, 1941, just five weeks before the US entered World War II.

** It took 14 years to build and cost $1 million.

** If the carvings were scaled to real life people, they would be 465 feet tall.

** Each head is six stories tall.

** The project displaced 800 million tons of stone.

** The noses are 20 feet long.

** Workers had to climb 506 steps each day. They sure must have been in good shape.

** Sculptor Gutzon Borglum was 60 when he started it.

** He died unexpectedly 7 months before the project was finished.

In case you can't name them all: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.
