In 1848, engineers planning the first permanent bridge across the Niagara Gorge faced a basic but dangerous problem. They had no safe way to get an initial line across the nearly 250-meter wide chasm below Niagara Falls. The gorge was too deep for boats, the currents were violent, and walking or climbing across was impossible. Without a first line, construction could not even begin.
To solve this, a kite-flying contest was organized on the American side of the gorge. A young local boy successfully flew a kite across the gap, allowing its thin string to be secured on both sides. That string was then used to pull across a thicker cord, followed by progressively stronger ropes. Each replacement increased the load capacity until heavy cables could finally be drawn across the gorge.
Those cables became the basis for a temporary footbridge, which allowed workers to begin construction of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge, completed in 1855 under engineer John A. Roebling. The bridge later carried rail traffic and directly influenced Roebling’s work on the Brooklyn Bridge. What started with a kite became a key step in modern suspension bridge engineering.

The Conventional Wisdom Was Clear
For decades, academics insisted commons resources faced only two solutions: government control or complete privatization.
The "tragedy of the commons" was treated as gospel. Communities managing shared resources themselves? Dismissed as naive fantasy.
Then Elinor Ostrom asked a simple question: What if we looked at what is actually happening?
She Studied Reality, Not Theory
Ostrom traveled to fishing villages, irrigation systems, and forest communities worldwide. She documented hundreds of cases where communities successfully managed shared resources for generations.
No central planners. No privatization. Just voluntary cooperation and locally adapted rules.
She proved cooperation doesn't require state coercion.
In 2009, she became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Economics for doing it.
Her Legacy Lives On at Students For Liberty
Ostrom showed that rigorous research and intellectual honesty can challenge establishment consensus. She proved that patient scholarship can shift entire paradigms. Social change doesn't happen through activism alone. It requires an intellectual foundation.
That's exactly why SFL created Ostrom House for Academia & Reasearch.
Named in her honor, it's designed for students who want to advance liberty through deep intellectual work.
Ostrom House is Where Future Scholars Are Built
→ Focused retreats developing research skills and rigorous thinking.
→ Mentorship from established scholars in classical liberal thought.
→ Training in philosophy, economics, and effective communication.
The goal: cultivating scholars who can shape academic discourse for decades.
Intellectual Impact Takes Different Forms
Not everyone advances liberty the same way. Some build businesses. Others shape policy. Some change culture through media. And some, like Ostrom, change how entire disciplines think about fundamental problems.
That's why we created the House System. Each House provides focused training for different paths.
Bastiat House → Politics & Law
Hazlitt House → Media & Journalism
Spooner House → Entrepreneurship & Business
Ostrom House → Academia & Research
Douglass House → Activism & Organizing
Your path determines your training, mentorship, and community.
Discover Which House Fits You
Whether you're drawn to academic research like Ostrom, or policy, media, entrepreneurship, or organizing; there's a House designed for your strengths.
Take our 60-second assessment and discover which liberty house matches your leadership style.

Everyone nods when you say “separation of church and state.”
But what about money and state? Education and state? Business and state?
The more government tries to “fix” things, the more problems it creates — and the higher your taxes go. That’s why it’s up to us to raise kids who understand that real progress comes from freedom, not control.
👉 Teach them what that means with the Tuttle Twins books:
