Deep in the heart of the Black Hills of South Dakota, the Crazy Horse Memorial rises out of Thunderhead Mountain. Under construction since 1948, it is a dramatic monument in the form of Crazy Horse, a Lakota Sioux warrior, riding a horse and pointing into the distance. If completed, the sculpture’s final dimensions will be 641 feet (195 meters) wide and 563 feet (172 m) high, making it the world’s largest statue. The memorial to Crazy Horse will dwarf one of the most popular monuments in the country, Mount Rushmore, located only eight miles (12 km) away. The heads of the presidents at Mount Rushmore are each 60 feet (18 m) high, but the head of Crazy Horse will be 87 feet (26.5 m) high.
