Dear Friend of the Backroads,
Long before the interstates, the backroads carried us to the places in between. They still do.
This summer, as our nation marks its 250th birthday, we’re inviting you to travel those winding lanes with us in a special way.
For a limited time, enjoy 10% off your digital subscription upgrade—and receive a complimentary print copy of our Summer 2026 Semiquincentennial Issue.
Inside these pages you’ll find:
Revolutionary War battlefields and the quiet secrets that helped secure victory
Historic Southern lighthouses standing sentinel over the shore
The enduring tradition of American Legion Baseball
Colonial-era recipes, founding fathers’ thoughts on liberty, and more
It’s a keepsake issue—one that honors how far we’ve come while still celebrating the small towns, open fields, and living history that make these roads worth taking.
If you’re a free subscriber interested in deepening your journey by becoming an upgraded digital subscriber, this is the perfect time to join us.

If you’d just like to receive our print edition starting with our Fall 2026 issue, claim 10% off and receive a free copy of our Summer 2026 issue by clicking the link below and entering “AMERICA250” in the promotion field.
We publish every Thursday, send a monthly Backroad Bulletin, and deliver the print magazine seasonally. Most of all, we believe the best stories still live just off the main thoroughfare.
Take the long way home.
With gratitude,
Elizabeth & Erica
Backroad Portfolio
