Rapid City: The City Of Presidents

Visitors to the historic downtown of South Dakota's Rapid City are in for something of a surprise. Turn a corner and you come face to face with a life size bronze statue of the USA's first ever President, George Washington.

Turn another and you come across his successor, John Adams. In fact there is a statue of each US President in the city. As well as being a remarkable tribute to the leaders of America, it's a great way to memorize the presidents.

The article has a typo re: the name of our second president (which you reflect in quoting them) - it was John Adams, not George Adams.

That was indeed John Adams. I corrected the mistake. Thanks.
