An important cultural landmark that falls in the region of the Midwest is Mount Rushmore, South Dakota

Mount Rushmore was completed in 1939 and it includes massive sculptures of four of the nation's former presidents: Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt. It has become an iconic national memorial and draws about 2 to 3 million visitors per year. It thus serves its original purpose well as it was intended to draw tourists to the region. It was engineered by artist Gutzon Borglum. The specific presidents who appear were chosen because they separately represent the nation's birth, preservation, growth, and development.
