From 1989 to 1995, artists Jan Albers and Karen Titus took photographs and interviewed people they encountered along U.S. Route 20, the longest transcontinental highway in the United States. Reaching 3,365 miles from coast to coast, it begins in Boston, Massachusetts, and continues through 12 states, ending at the Pacific Ocean in Newport, Oregon. During their journey, Albers and Titus (who are also mother and daughter) documented sites, events, and stories of people who live and work along this road.

Photographs from the road by Albers and Titus will be on view in the exhibition "20/20 Vision: Travels Along America's Accidental Highway" at the Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany, Indiana, June 3 - July 16, 2011. This video was created by Jan Albers in 2003 during the Scott County Community Digital Storytelling Project, held at the Scott County Public Library in Georgetown, Kentucky. See more images and stories from U.S. Route 20 on the artists' blog at: accidentalhighway.com
