Beneath Washington’s polished surface, rivers whisper secrets where scandals once rippled and rebellion brewed beside the Potomac. Down alleys and across arches, history hides in plain sight.

This self-guided audio tour leads deep into the heart of the city, unveiling untold stories woven through famed sites and overlooked corners alike. Uncover Washington most visitors never truly see.

Why did a midnight collapse at the Aqueduct Bridge send shockwaves through the capital? What cryptic messages are carved into the stone halls of Healy Hall? Which steam-powered prank along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal still baffles historians today?

Cross bridges where political fortunes rose and fell. Wander winding park paths echoing with rumors of intrigue. Each new location peels back another layer, transforming simple strolls into a chase for hidden truths.

The river is just the beginning. Press play and dive into stories the city tried to bury.
