#7 this is what I found
Sometimes known as the "lighthouse in the desert", Cullen's Well was the only stable source of water between Wickenburg and Ehrenberg
and this
A. Marysville, CA - California's Oldest Little City. It got that name because it was once one of the largest cities in CA during the 1850 gold rush but river sedimintation caused severe flooding. This caused them to build levees around the entire town in in 1875 thereby limiting the size of the town to approx. 12000. It still has that population today. So the institution would be the levees in 1875.
B. Great Falls, MT - Montana's Electric City - So named because the abundence of hydroelectric dams. The first hydroelectric dam built to supply electricity was the Black Eagle Dam in 1891. So the institution would be the Black Eagle Dam in 1891.
C. San Francisco, CA - The City That Knows How. President Taft called San Fran that in 1911 when he was visiting to declare San Francisco the First World's Fair City to commorate the opening of the Panama Canal that was slated for 1914. Not sure if the instiitution woulld be the Panama Canal or the World's Fair but I picked the Canal and thought 1914. Either way, It's the youngest.
D. Wells, NV - The Silver State's Wells - This was a wagon train stop on the trail to California at the Humbolt Wells which was a swampy area area near the Humbolt River. A telegraph operator shortened it to Wells when he sent a message "Wells is burning down!" It was established as a town when the transcontinental railroad reached it in 1869. so I picked 1869 as the establishment.
the one about the pheomenum , it is Taos, New Mexico. known for the Taos Hum
In the Unsolved Mysteries segment called 'Mystery Hum', a tape recreation of the Taos Hum was used for this segment. Robert Stack reported that one of the "Hum sufferers" created the audio tape, mainly for the purpose in that particular segment. This was done since their audio equipment didn't pick up low-frequency sounds very well, and so that the show's viewers and other non-"Hum sufferers" would get an idea of what the actual auditory phenomenon sounded like.
the man is in front of the E.L. Blumenschein museum sign located in Taos, New Mexico.
So whould it be Taos Hum since it says What is the name of this local pheomenum not where?
