In New Orleans, secrets echo between ornate halls and shattered windows—a city where the past never lets go.

This self-guided audio tour leads through silent corridors and storied streets, uncovering hidden dramas and overlooked legends most visitors never find.

What desperate act shut the doors of Charity Hospital overnight, sending shockwaves through the nation? Who whispered in the quiet corners of the Supreme Court, changing the fate of thousands with a single verdict? Why are there still unanswered questions surrounding a lost letter in the heart of the Public Library’s archives?

Move through the city on foot and in mind, tracing rebellions and scandals, lingering in forgotten rooms, and chasing mysteries born beneath creaking floors. The old New Orleans glimmers beneath your feet, waiting to reveal its scars and stories.

Begin the journey—let the city’s hidden depths pull you in.
