Sturgeon Bay High School history teacher Barry Mellen has tapped into a unique way to connect with students while they finish out the year at home. Mellen is a known motorcycle enthusiast and rides through the Door Peninsula whenever he gets the chance. Lately, he has been taking a video camera along with him as he stops at spots of historical significance. Mellen is up to five videos that are posted to Youtube and says interest has been high, including from adults.

Mellen says he expects to keep making the videos when school returns to normal, describing it as something he should have been doing for a long time. One of Mellen’s videos can be found n the Virtual Field Trip section.
