Education

Educating others on the importance of Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a significant part of our mission.

Through Mount Rushmore Society support, rangers give more than 80 school programs in western South Dakota each year.

We raised more than $325,000 to construct the Youth Exploration Area at the park and provide programming. Rangers give talks on a wide-range of topics at the shelter, including natural resources, park history and the Native American culture.
