Proposed Avenue of Flags Plan
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Construction at Mount Rushmore National Memorial is underway at the park. While there are some inconveniences in the short term, plans to widen the Avenue of Flags will offer less congestion. Please note that plaques identifying the state flags will all be facing forward. Visitors will no longer have to go around columns to find their state flag.

Current Park Reminders:
Ranger Programs. The National Park Service has announced that there are ranger programs in the Sculptor’s Studio every hour starting at 9 am. The Sculptor's Studio is open until 5 pm. Check the Information Center for scheduled topics and times.
The Evening Lighting Program begins at 8 pm through September 30. The program will be held at the south end of the Avenue of Flags.
