2019 is a New Year! It's a new year in a new building with a new way of doing things. With that said, we are so excited to introduce you to our digital newsletter. Look for it monthly, bi-monthly or whenever we have new information to share about the Mount Rushmore Society and/or our beloved Mount Rushmore National Memorial in the Black Hills.

With the enactment of the continuing resolution, staff at Mount Rushmore National Memorial have resumed regular operations as of Monday January 28. Read more.
Even though our operations were also impacted during the government shutdown, our board has committed to fund the National Park Service at the same level as previous years. Will you consider donating to help us in our mission?

CEO Diana Nielsen Saathoff began her career with the Mount Rushmore Society in 1999. This marks her 20th year in the leadership position.
“We have a tremendous staff, so talented--and a little quirky. I am so lucky to be surrounded by great people and such a committed board. Our future looks as interesting as our past, and that has been fascinating!
Saathoff is a graduate of USD and former board member of the Public Lands Alliance and NPS Friends Alliance. Diana’s pastimes include Dutch oven cooking, camping with her equestrian friends, downhill skiing and travelling to new destinations. She shares her Wild Sage Ranch with her paint and quarter horses, a Weimaraner named "Gracie," a Doberman named "Gretchen" and a burro from Custer State Park she calls "Kansass."
