About Portage

Portage is a travel guide to America, built around a simple idea: trips are the family experiences we remember.

We write about landmarks, road trips, and the history underneath the places you pass — not listicles, not pay-to-play roundups. Every place in Portage earns its page. The research starts with public records, archives, and local sources, and the stories stay inside what we can verify. Editorial content is compiled with AI assistance; place details are verified against public records, and when we get something wrong we fix it.

What you'll find

• Destinations — cities and regions across the country, each with its landmarks, tours, and stories.
• Landmarks — the places themselves, including the ghost landmarks: places that stood here and don't anymore.
• Stories — short reads from places that earned them.
• Trips — drivable routes with real stops, built to be taken, not just scrolled.
• Plan — your own travel map: where you've been, where you want to go.

Who makes this

Portage is made by the Cour team and operated by Cabildo Companies LLC in Roanoke, Virginia. It shares a backbone with Cour, a private family-memory app — Portage is where you find the places; Cour is where your family keeps what happened there.

Where things stand

Portage is in soft launch. Coverage is deepest across the South and growing nationally; accounts, synced bookmarks, and shared family memory are rolling out.

Some links to hotels, flights, and tickets are partner links — if you book through them, Portage may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Partners never decide what we write about.
