By Martin Kelly. Mount Rushmore, the President's Mountain, is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It was the brainchild of Doane Robinson, known as the âFather of Mount Rushmore .â His goal was to create an attraction that would draw people from all over the country to his state.
The granite mountain that bears the monument was named long before iâ¦ts destiny to be the backdrop for a great mountain carving was known. Mount Rushmore was named in honor of New York lawyer Charles E. Rushmore in 1885. Bill Challis was a local guide escorting Rushmore, who was visiting the Black Hills to check land claims.
