Today we visited The Crazy Horse Memorial. The Crazy Horse Memorial is a mountain
monument under construction on privately held land in the Black Hills, in
Custer County, South Dakota. It will
depict the Oglala Lakota warrior, Crazy Horse, riding a horse and pointing into
the distance. Crazy Horse’s face is 87
feet, 6 inches. It was completed on June
3, 1998. The carving is planned to be
563 feet high and 641 feet long.
It was
really incredible to see the monument and hear the history. There’s a lot to
see, we spent the day visiting the 3 museums, Sculptor’s log studio home, Sculptor’s Workshop and the bronze
showroom. We picked the right day to be
there, they had the Lakota Hoop Dancers performing. We really enjoyed watching them.
My Favorite museum was the one that featured all the beautiful Native American bead work and art.
