Highway 395 traveling through Mono and Inyo counties in California connects a region rich in history and beauty. TE funds awarded through Mono County funded a media and journalism class for youth to collect stories about Highway 395. These collected stories were archived by the Eastern Sierra Institute for Collaborative Education as the Roadside Heritage project, available online at http://www.roadsideheritage.org for free. Hear the stories of Paiute Indian travels, mining camps, wildlife migration, railroads, and many more. The project is a unique collaboration of scientists, technology experts, and school youth that transforms the driving experience along Highway 395.
