Feed your mind and your belly with Turtle Soup, featuring a presentation on historic Black Hills figures or events and a bowl of soup provided by Angel’s Catering.
This week, Jeanie Kirkpatrick presents, "The Women of Mount Rushmore." This presentation is part of our Women in History Month events.

At this Turtle Soup, you’ll examine the women workers during the carving years of Mount Rushmore. You’ll learn about the different jobs these women did and the pay they received.
As Kirkpatrick says, “There were more than just men on the mountain ... and they did not always stay on the ground.”
