George Washington, because he was america's first president, and he was a general in the Revolutionary War! Thomas Jefferson, because he wrote the Declaration of Independence! Theodore Roosevelt, because if it wasn't for him, the National Park Service wouldn't exist, and this amazing landmark would not be protected! And finaly, Abraham Lincoln, because he abolished slavery! Washington was the only one was completed; the other three presidents had to remain unfinished, because of lack of space!

Over 400 workers worked to complete Mount Rushmore, and many workers died trying to compete what would someday become, America's most famous national landmark!
