"Where in North America?" --- Section VIII
This is the Eighth section of a popular mind puzzle first brought to the membership by member Quebec Gen.
General Rules of the "Where in North America is this?" Game
1) Anyone can play -- just follow along and test your mettle about places found in North America.
2) You'll need to be a registered member of this Forum if you want to contribute your own photographs and/or participate in the discussion for each place.
3) You will need to have the ownership or usage rights to any photo that you post on this forum, as per the terms & conditions of Federal copyright law. If you post a photo that you do not own the rights to, Forum Management reserves the right to remove it. As a matter of practical use, we would expect that you would be posting only those photos that you or a close family member have taken.
4) Every photo of a mystery place needs to be unique in some way -- And there should be "visual clues" in the photo to enable us to solve where the mystery location is...

This is the current puzzle posted by Mark Sedenquist a few moments ago:
What is the name of the observatory and what is it famous for?

A lot more singed than I'd prefer to see
Yeah, notice that all of the high country behind it is burned? Here are some photos taken during the hectic phases of the Station Fire...
But what is Mt. Wilson known for?

Is it cheating to have just seen the movie?
Just saw Julie and Julia - this sure looks like Julia Child's kitchen from Cambridge in the movie. Isn't it at the Smithsonian?
Yes it is: Longwood Gardens!
Swung through there on the way from Philly to Rockville, MD.
While most people think "chemicals" when they hear DuPont, Pierre was involved in more things than that.
Prior to buying DuPont with his brother to take it private, he worked in management at a steel mill. After running DuPont for about four years, he was President and/or CEO of General Motors from 1915 to 1929.
He remained on DuPont's board until 1940.

We appear stuck; probably need a clue.
Associated with some president, perhaps?
Doesn't seem that easy to me
How big a lake? What part of the continent?
sometimes it is better to be lucky than good
I don't know; I actually wasn't thinking Mackinac, but I've been there and maybe my subconscious was trying to tell me something. It looked vaguely midwestern, and possibly associated with one of the Great Lakes, so I took a shot.
I might have gone down the Palin path too, but I didn't see any moose.
That was a real hat-trick!
Wow, I am impressed.
Have you Bing-imaged yet? Megan likes their image gallery more-- I'm not quite as used to it yet as Google's.

See I told you it was easy......
You guys are good! All it takes is a couple of good clues and you're right on it! I'll try to find a hard one next time.

Maybe a little harder.....
This one might be a little harder.
What is this building?
Where is it located?

Let me know if you need a clue.

NPS Visitor Center.......
It is indeed a NPS Visitor Center. The question is where is it located?
Clue #1: A closer look at the right side of the picture through the trees shows that there is water behind the building (OK, I'll admit it is hard to see, but it is there). The water is a lake with an Indian name.
