Who actually sculpted the images on Mt Rushmore?
Gutzon Borglam designed and directed the sculpting of the giant presidents’ heads on the side of Mt. Rushmore. In total, over 400 people worked on the project between 1929 and 1941. The project was subsidized by the US Government, and cost almost a million dollars. Gutzon, already a notable sculptor, was sometimes absent from the project. In his absence, his son Lincoln supervised it.
