Telling River Stories: People and Places Along the Mississippi River
This project populates a map with stories of how people shape, and are shaped by, the Mississippi River. If we are to continue to live richly on this River, we’ll need to design, plan, and build so that we enhance instead of degrade it. Stories of people improving lives along the River are told here too.

Telling River Stories is a project of the University of Minnesota's River Life Program.
