Visit the sculpture Crazy Horse Memorial

The Crazy Horse Memorial, which began construction in 1948, is a monument carved out of Thunderhead Mountain. Crazy Horse Memorial, like Mount Rushmore, is an enormous stone sculpture carved into the mountainside of the scenic Black Hills. It represents an Oglala Lakota warrior riding a horse from a Native American tribe. When finished, it will be the world's second tallest statue.

This gigantic monument, conceived as a tribute to North American Indians, is the unfinished work of Polish sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, who died in the 1980s in the middle of the project. Despite being far from finished, the Crazy Horse Memorial is now one of South Dakota's most well-known landmarks. It has an onsite restaurant, museum, and gift store, as well as a variety of guided tour packages and special events.

The Crazy Horse Memorial is a great place to learn about Native American history. Take plenty of photos with the massive monument before heading down to the museum to learn about Native American tribes, cultures, rituals, and history. Visitors are given to an orientation film that covers Native American history and culture while exploring the museums. There are also a variety of interesting and engaging events to make your visit more enjoyable, such as Native American art exhibits, dances, lectures, and laser light shows. You can also take workshops in pottery making, quill and beading, silversmithing, hide painting, carving, and many other crafts.
