Liberty Trail

Anchors are real places with real documents. You visit them from your chair — Outpost never asks where you are.

The trail has no anchors yet

An anchor is a real place and a real document at an address you can open. Nothing here is a placeholder standing in for one, because a founding document paraphrased from memory is exactly the thing this site exists not to publish. The standard an anchor has to meet is below; the first ones are being sourced.

What an anchor needs

A place, named as it is named today.

A document that was written, argued, signed or first read there.

A public address for that document — a .gov archive, a library of record, or a court's own docket.

The date, as the document itself gives it.

Your collection

Empty, and private. What you read on this trail is kept for you and shown to nobody — it is not a score and it does not rank you against anyone. It appears in your file, where you can export it or delete it.

Outpost never asks where you areNo geolocation, no check-in, no 'nearby'. There is no code on this page that could ask, and there will not be: a civic site that trades your location for content has built a tracker and called it a trail.
Every anchor is a real place with a real documentNot a summary of one and not a description of one. The document is at a citable public address and this page links straight to it.
The document is the point; the place is the reason it mattersAn anchor exists because something was written, argued or signed there. If the place is famous and the document is not on file, it is not an anchor yet.
Your collection is yoursWhat you have read is kept for you and shown to nobody. It is not a score, it does not rank you against anyone, and it is in your file — export it, or delete it, and it is gone.
