A frontier town’s shadows still linger beneath Mankato’s quiet skyline. Barricades once scarred these streets and whispers from gilded mansions mix with echoes of uproar in stone halls.

This self-guided audio tour peels back the layers of the city at your own pace, opening doors to secrets that skip the history books and tourists alike.

What scandal almost toppled fortunes at the First National Bank’s grand opening? Who vanished behind the stained-glass windows of the Rensselaer D. Hubbard House, sparking rumors through the generations? And what unsolved mystery still haunts the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center, tucked deep beneath its modern crowds?

Stride past stately facades and into alleyways alive with rebellion, dramatic political showdowns, and moments frozen in time. With every step, new details flicker to life, and Mankato transforms from backdrop to living stage.
