  3. Mount Rushmore • Rushmore is the mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota • It’s a mountain which has the Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt are carvedin the rock. • It is important because it shows the faces of some of our most important presidents. • Gutzon Borglum and 400 workers are the people responsible for building this sculpture in Mount Rushmore. • This site represents that anything can be done if you put your mind to it, because the Presidents sculpted surely accomplished that which seemed impossible.

  18. The Grand Canyon • The Grand Canyon is located in Coconino County, Colorado. • The Grand Canyon is a very large canyon carved by the Colorado River. • The importance lies in the Wild Life, and the Hover Dam on the Colorado River. • Of course the canyon was made entirely by nature, but President Roosevelt was the first to seek to protect it from man. • I think The Grand Canyon is a prime example of how powerful mother nature can be and that it isn’t mans place to mess with her.

  21. Gettysburg National Park • Gettysburg Nation Park is in Adams County, Pennsylvania. • The memorial, battlefield and cemetery of The Battle Of Gettysburg. • This battle was one of the biggest loses the Civil War had seen and it is important to honor those who fought. This was also a turning point for the war. • A group of concerned citizens established the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association who's purpose was to preserve areas as a memorial to the Union Army. • I think this is a place to not only remember the soldiers but also to remember what out country came from and where it’s going.
