Eric & I drive to the
Crazy Horse Memorial.
The Welcome Center
The Memorial from the road
Eric and I paid $30.00 to enter the Grounds, which is on Private Property. It is run by The Crazy Horse Memorial Board of Directors and the Ziolkowski Family.
Some of the many Artifacts
on display
the original sculptor of the
Crazy Horse Memorial.
A self-taught Sculptor, Ziolkowski was asked by Standing Bear, Chief of the Lakota to design and sculpt the Crazy Horse Memorial, honoring Crazy Horse, the revered Lakota Warrior and Leader.
The Sculptor's Model
Ziolkowski worked on the Memorial from 1948 until his death in 1982. His widow, Ruth continued his work and now the children continue their father's work.
Storytellers introduce themselves,
describe their lineage & share
their oral traditions.
The Ziolkowski Family and the Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation Board of Directors guide the Monument's ongoing, slow progress. Crazy Horse's face was revealed in 1998. The Memorial, the largest statue in the world, remains a work in progress 73 years later.
