With help from Albert Einstein and other trusted advisors, President Harry S.

The best architects and planners were commissioned to design a welcoming place for these superlative geniuses to reside, an area that would offer the best education for their children, the best healthcare, the best amenities and quality of life. A community was created to rival the most idyllic of America's small towns, with one major difference: this town would never appear on any maps.
