The 32nd presidents summer home on campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada.
[By the way it's a giant crab sculpture] ;-)
Spot on.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States, lived there.
The house is on Campobello Island, just in New Brunswick, Canada, and is actually physically connected by the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Bridge with Lubec, Maine - the eastern-most tip of the continental United States.
Open to the public and well worth a visit if in the area.
(That’s me – don’t know my crabs from my lobsters ) :- )
{Here's a link for more information -- & if you give us enough clues.....}
Where is it ?

It's in one of your field reports -- but I am not going to say which one..... Let some more folks try and find it.

Come on now folks... Dave's field report, with that photo (above), has been high cited on this forum at least 100+ times....
In the meantime, there are some visual clues as to where in the world this is....

The “hot spot” – I peeped to find out where it is.
Warm Springs, Nevada, is located at the junction of U.S. Route 6 and State Route 375 (the "Extraterrestrial Highway"), around 40 miles east of Tonopah.
Clue: Mark Twain has a connection with this place.
PS: Won’t rush to provide more clues because I think this is a fun picture.

Virginia City, Nevada -- I don't which parade this is -- The photo is taken about 75 yards from the Mark Twain museum and about 45 yards from the Bucket o' Blood Saloon.

Although I was in Albuquerque end of last year didn’t venture as far as the museum.
It is the Sculpture Garden of the Albuquerque Museum in Old Town.
{Excellent, excellent work -- It's amazing to me that you know such much about the USA!}
Yes Virginia City, Nevada, is the place. Dash – I didn’t make it into the saloon.
Mark Twain was born with the name Samuel Langhorne Clemens and while on his early travels he became an unsuccessful silver miner in Virginia City. He then found work there as a local journalist and it is said it was there he started using the pen name Mark Twain. From little acorns…..
They have numerous events in Virginia City and although this day event was based around vintage/classic cars I cannot remember its official name.
Can’t resist showing a couple more photos of the same event.
Hello boys…...
