Monumental Memories - A Biography of a Mountain
Advertisement
What can a mountain tell us about history, memory, and identity?
The Journey Museum welcomes author Matthew Davis for a presentation based on his new book, A Biography of a Mountain: The Making and Meaning of Mount Rushmore.
This engaging program explores the creation of Mount Rushmore and the story behind one of America's most famous landmarks. Beyond its construction, Davis will examine the role memorials play in shaping how we understand the past by asking important questions: What is a memorial? Who is it for? What stories does it tell? And where do we choose to place them?
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn, reflect, and participate in a conversation about the meaning of monuments and the stories they preserve.
