The Mount Rushmore History Association has supported Education at Mount Rushmore National Memorial since 1993. As a committee of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Society, our mission is to support and assist the National Park Service with educational, historical and interpretive activities at Mount Rushmore National Memorial. We raise funds for these activities through our membership program, through our three bookstores at the memorial and through our website.
