Fourth grade students from Salida Del Sol Elementary School check out the cells at Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park during a field trip Tuesday made possible by a grant awarded to The Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area. The grant makes it possible for the Yuma Crossing NHA to offer a program to local schools for field trips at the historic prison and the Yuma East Wetlands. Tuesday’s tour saw students check out the prison and experience a walk through the East Wetlands Park.
