Free Town Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Free Town Project was a splinter group of the Free State Project, and was started in 2004 to encourage libertarians to move en masse to Grafton, New Hampshire, where they would "stop enforcement of Laws prohibiting Victimless Acts among Consenting Adults, such as Dueling, Gambling, Incest, Price-Gouging, Cannibalism, and Drug Handling." [1]
The project founders studied 21 towns before deciding on Grafton. All of the candidates were New Hampshire towns with small populations and no zoning laws. The founders decided on Grafton as a result of many factors, including available land, a generally low level of commercialism and industrialization, and local support for libertarianism.
Whereas the Free State Project has generally attracted positive or neutral public attention, the more radical Free Town Project resulted in a Grafton town meeting opposing that project.[2]
