A glassy shimmer of Lake Superior hides stories deeper than its icy depths, right here under the shadow of towering ore docks and rusting rails. Hear Downtown Duluth’s heartbeat on a self-guided audio tour revealing secret corners and dramatic moments tourists rarely discover.

What fueled the scandal that shook the Duluth Depot—and who tried desperately to cover it up? What vanished artifact in the Entertainment Convention Center still sparks rumors among staff after midnight? Why did library shelves once conceal more than books and force city leaders into a fierce stand-off?

Wander bustling avenues and historic halls where echoes of rebellion and ambition hang in the air. Each step brings hidden drama into the light, unmasking legends and lost chapters beneath city streets and sky-high cranes.

Unlock the pulsing secrets of Duluth’s downtown. The surface is only the beginning. Start the journey now.
