Another featured treasure off the I-395, the small town of Markleeville is a quaint town that was established in the early 1860s. Although it isn't "just off" the I-395, it's not a long drive, and it's definitely worth a visit. Take a walk around the small town, and go up the hill to where the old schoolhouse and jail are located. They've been kept in very good shape and are really interesting to see. This is the General Store, which may not have changed in the past 150 years, other than I noticed this summer when we visited that it is now painted red instead of white.
One other interesting note of this town, the namesake of the town was killed in a gunfight, apparently, before the town was established on his land.
