Crazy Horse Memorial

Some people in South Dakota are actually taking a scuplture of a man on a horse and scaling it UP 300 times onto a mountain....

For those interested in the Crazy Horse Memorial, in South Dakota, visit and join the discussion group:

A 600 foot tall mountain is being carved in-the-round into the likeness of Sioux Leader Crazy Horse in South Dakota. It's been in progress since 1948 and is the world's largest sculpture. The face alone, which has been completed in 1998 is already the world's largest sculpted portrait. They have been working on blocking out the horse's head since then and it is half blocked out.

The site, which contains one of the foremost museums of Native American history and will ultimately contain a University and Medical Center, truly captures the imagination though there is a lot of controversy surrounding it.

I have posted several articles on the memorial's creation, engineering logistics, history and opinion at this discussion group. Anything is open for discussion. Come by and read the archives or post your questions or opinions! Whether you are a fan, supporter or detractor, add your point of view to this group or just read as informative messages are periodically sent out.

This is a fan-run group and is in no way associated with the Memorial. The Memorial's website is:
