The room was created in order to store American treasures like documents and other valuable items, but was, unfortunately, unfinished due to Borglum’s death in 1941. The room is located at Lincoln’s hairline and it can really only be seen in from an areal shot or if you’re on top of the mountain. Thoughts even circulated that the documents would be entombed in the room to tell the story of America to future inhabitants.
