Roughly 2 million people visit the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota each year to see the 60-foot-high faces of four American presidents carved into the granite. For a closer look at those faces, visitors can use a coin-operated viewer that has an Alabama connection: It’s made by SeeCoast Manufacturing Co., a woman-owned small business in Fairhope. SeeCoast’s viewers can be found all over the country and around the world – anywhere there’s a view that begs to be magnified, including Alaska, Key West, the CN Tower in Toronto, Niagara Falls, the Santa Monica Pier, Sydney Harbor in Australia and many others.
