Crazy Horse Memorial
The Crazy Horse Memorial is definitely a work-in-progress. The sculptor--Korczak Ziolkowski--and his family and those carrying on his vision to create the largest mountain sculpture in the world pride themselves on remaining a totally private endeavor and refusing governmental funding. The story behind the creation is very interesting, but unfortunately we found the whole enterprise quite commercial with a $10 per person entrance fee, a $4 bus fee to go closer to the sculpture, and a massive gift shop. Crazy Horse's head is complete, and the dynamiting to make the sculpture continues. We'll have to return in 40 years to see the completed work of art.
