Mt. Rushmore is a special case. The parking facility was built and is owned by private citizens, so they don't answer to the Feds. Mt. Rushmore itself, is NP property, but it isn't like it needs daily attention. They could close the restaurant and close the entrance at night because of the lighting ceremony. They're both Federal, but the heads don't move and frankly, they're easily visible from outside the NP property.
