HALL OF RECORDS IN MOUNT RUSHMORE

In an earlier post, I mentioned that the creator of the Mt Rushmore sculpture was LDS.

One thing that I thought was interesting was that he wanted to create a hall of records up there in the vertical slab behind Lincoln's head.  In solid granite.  It would have been able to hold a lot of stuff.  I would love to know what his motivation would have been for that.  It would have survived most anything.

Here is some more info on this:

It was never finished as they ran out of funds before it could be done.
