    Mount Rushmore has been on my bucket list for many years. I would also like to visit Williams Burg, VA. Thank you for this informative tour.

    Why don’t they ever include the third tallest memorial in the National Park Service? Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial is taller than the Statue of Liberty. Only monument dedicated to international peace.

    I enjoyed looking at these wonderful places. I have been to 7 and can not remember if I was at another. I think that 7 out of the 12 is not too bad.

    Thank you for this most memorable tour. As I was going through the monuments, it dawned on me that my Dad planned many of our family vacations at the beautiful, historic sites, (Statue of Liberty, Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum, The Liberty Bell, and Colonial Williamsburg. I appreciate my Father’s excellent choices for some of our vacations.
    This year I hopefully will visit Mt. Rushmore, SD.
