It is said that the original idea of Mount Presidential originated from a scholar. 1923, a scholar named Robert put forward an idea. He wants to carve a statue symbolizing the United States on the cliff of the hard granite peak in Montenegro, South Dakota. His bold idea was immediately supported by the famous sculptor Baum at that time. After several years of brewing and careful planning. The huge project of carving statues on the cliff of "Presidential Mountain" finally kicked off in 1927. According to historical records, there were more than 360 American sculptors involved in this magnificent project at that time. They slept in the wind, forgot to fight, and sent away 14 spring and autumn in meticulous carving. 1934, the huge project of cliff stone sculpture, commonly known as "Presidential Mountain", was finally completed in an all-round way. Since then, the "Mofeng Memorial Site of the National Rally" has been presented to people with a brand-new look.
