I was wondering where this place is ? Looks like it might be a horse watering trough ?

thanks!

No idea whee it is, but it looks like a wishing well type fountain to me. I have seen several of those through the years. An old city park in my hometown had one that looked much like this one, and I never saw it working, but it use to be quite attractive I suppose? Anyway, the park was built in 1908, so it was fairly old in terms of the city itself. Monty

I don't remember where it is, but it's made of mashed potatoes and was used in Close Encounters.

LOL... that was Devil's Tower... Wyoming

My first impression was that it is in the southwest, around the Border. Seems like I've seen something like that in an old black and white western movie set in that area.

And a bit of info on the same. (scroll down 3/4 down the page to "Peavey Fountain/151st Field Artillery Horse Monument" Hope this helps.

Very Interesting. The reading implies it was built originally to water horses...
