The economy in America in the 1930s was very bad and many people had lost their jobs and had no way to make money so the government came up with some projects that they could give the citizens so they could be paid. One of these projects was the building of Mount Rushmore in Keystone, South Dakota. Mount Rushmore has the faces of the presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt.
