BET YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE SECRET CHAMBER THAT IS LOCATED BENEATH MOUNT RUSHMORE!

Gutzon Borglum’s Secret Addition

The problems faced due to a shortage of funds put a halt on the monuments original plans. But then the United States government authorized Gutzon Borglum’s special addition. So within the years 1938 and 1939, a 70-foot tunnel behind Abraham Lincoln’s head had been carved on the mountain. This, according to the great sculptor Borglum, would serve as the entrance of what would be referred to as “The Hall of Records at Mount Rushmore.”
