American Statesmanship Park, also known as "Mount Rush Hour",[1] is a park in Houston, Texas.[2] Located at the intersection of Interstate 10 and Interstate 45, the park has a series of four 18-foot, two-ton busts depicting Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington. The sculptures, known as A Tribute to American Statesmanship, were created in 2008[3] and donated to Harris County in November 2012 by artist David Adickes.[4]
