A gilded palace towers over the riverbank where cigar barons once gambled fortunes and an airplane carved terror into Tampa’s blue sky. These streets hold more than palm trees and sunshine.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks stories buried in plain sight. Move at your own pace and discover secrets even longtime locals miss.

Which campus walkway witnessed a struggle for power that changed Tampa forever? Why do whispers of hidden rooms haunt the grand halls of the Henry B. Plant Museum? What caused a training flight to end in chaos above bustling city streets?

Wind beneath soaring minarets, stand where scandals erupted, and walk the path from genteel society balls to headline-grabbing drama. Every step pulls you deeper into Tampa’s tangled past.

Are you ready to trace the shadows behind the city’s iconic skyline and hear what others overlook? Press play and find out what Tampa truly hides.
