crazy horse memorial

去之前我并没有抱多大的希望,因为知道地方已经翻修了好多年,不过到之后发现幸好我们停下来参观了。这个纪念碑超大。花几十块钱就可以坐巴士到山脚下,那里就是正在修建纪念碑的地方,从工人的数量可以看得出这个纪念碑的规模。这个纪念碑是私人基金会出钱弄的,因此不是政府的财产,好像是属于这块土地的主人苏族人(印第安人中的一支)所有的。美国土著纪念馆和纪念品店也很棒。在纪念碑上有一些关于赞助者家族的历史等等讯息。和四巨头总统像比起来,我甚至更喜欢这里。这两个景点都离南达科他州拉皮德城不远,去游览的时候可以住在皮德城。

我们是参加Caravan一日游时顺道来这里的,因此门票含在了一日游中,不过乘坐小巴还是要花钱的,就跟校车似的,坐上去就可以距离纪念碑更近一些。我觉得这地方总体上令人赞叹,比总统山好多了。我很喜欢雕塑家和他家人一起住在这里的故事,也很喜欢本土的创作。不过我认为最棒的还是本土老美卖手工艺品的大楼了,好多人都是坐在那里还在创作着。一开始我只是在博物馆里看到小型的货摊,对于那里的手工艺品很是失望,许多珠宝用的串珠任何地方都可以买到。不过发现了创作屋后就开心多了,给我孙子买了美丽的手工毛衣,真希望能早点发现呢,最后不得不急急忙忙的返回到旅游大巴上。没在这里吃饭,对零食吧不便做点评。

向历史中的美国家庭以及那个为梦想奋斗的人致敬。162元人民币一辆车,你会感到震惊并深受鼓舞,这个人曾经沿着祖先的梦想前进而他的家人又将延续这一梦想。真的太帮了!关于这个纪念碑的评论应该更多一些!

我真不知道在我读书的岁月里一共错过了多少精彩的故事!这个地方将会让你了解关于这片土地的一切。不论是好的故事还是坏故事,你都能从中有所收获。我们在一天中的最好时光都在这度过。我们真的非常喜欢这里,还会花时间再来这里的。这的咖啡馆服务非常棒,还有这的美食我们非常喜欢!我都等不及还想再来!

这是我们3500英里旅行的第二站。停车免费,但景点需要付费。因为这不是一个政府组织,所以他们收的入场费也很少。这个地方历史悠久。他们有一个10分钟的视频来介绍这个项目。如果你来这个地方的话,一定要看这个视频,不幸的是,我有生之年可能看不到这个项目完工了。又给我们省了一笔开支。

This was probably the place that surprised us most of all on our trip. This monument is just like all of the reviewers say, run by a family, a work in progress, worth the time, etc. When you arrive, go see the short 20 minute video. It tells the about the family and the funding needed to finish the monumental vision. We did not go on the van ride to the base, but probably should have. We were amazed at the beauty in the museum. When you leave, you could buy a rock for a donation. Our daughter really wanted one, so it would have probably been worth the donation!If you head north, to go to Deadwood, you will see some of the most beautiful landscapes ever.

This man, Korczak Ziolkowski, who promissed Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear, to built this memorial, for me he is THE man with the great vision, strong faith, big heart and dreams.Go there and listen the story - amazing!!!!

Well, it's much more worth a visit than Mt. Rushmore. So much history, strong will, determination, effort, work, it's amazing. Also the exhibitions, artwork, native artifacts are well worth the time. Hope that I can see this monument finished during my lifetime. Don't miss the light show after the sun sets. It's powerful.

A beautiful monument and not federally funded so tourism dollar's are an important resource in completing this great undertaking!

I really do not know what to say about why this monument could not be finished. My first time here was with a friend back in August 2001. We were doing a ONE-LAP (almost 7000 miles in 15 days) America road trip at that time. Last summer, I saw with my own eyes that the work was really in progress after 13 years. I said to myself "OMG, I hope it would not take another 13 years to see this monument finished but I am afraid it could take another 6-7 years at least since it is being funded on a voluntary basis without having no official government involvement. I just rated it very good in the hope of it would indeed be a very good monument at the end.

It's amazing what the family has done and the many that contribute. For this memorial. Also other stuff.there museum is very nice. Love to see when the monument is complete of crazy horse.

Not far from Mount Rushmore is another carved mountain side memorial. Crazy Horse Memorial is an in-progress monument honoring Crazy Horse and the Native American People who were very much an important part of American history.The project is not government funded and therefore is only being constructed with the money earned from visitors and donations. The plans are spectacular... with not only the carved Crazy Horse but also a good museum and store, a Native American University and a projected hospital. The memorial is family owned and operated.Though it is incomplete, it is definitely worth a visit to see the progress, contribute to the project and learn about it. One day years later you can visit again and show your kids or grandkids the changes that have taken place since you last visited.If anything, it is worth contributing to the hard work and efforts of the Ziolkowski family.

This is for sure a work in progress. Taking no money from the Government, it's going to take a lifetime to complete, but well worth the visit. Admission fees are reasonable and the history is very interesting.Please visit and make sure you don't rush through. There are so many buildings to check out and enjoy..

I saw this for the first time about 35 years ago. You had to squint and use your imagination to visualize Crazy Horse's head. Wish I'd be able to see it completed, but I (and everyone alive right now) will be long dead and gone before this memorial is completed.You should definitely visit this memorial!
