Embark on the Burlington Audio Tour: Sacred Steeples and Storied Streets

Bare brick meets towering steeples where Burlington’s quiet streets once echoed with courtroom drama and whispered secrets. Beneath the city’s serene lakeside veneer lie stories of fierce legal showdowns, covert acts of rebellion, and traces of scandal that most never notice.

This self-guided audio tour leads through Burlington’s overlooked corners and famous facades, revealing history’s hidden layers and characters too bold for textbooks. Find what other travelers miss as tales unfold right where they happened.

What secret triggered panic inside the United States District Court for the District of Vermont? Why did the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception’s cornerstone spark controversy among townsfolk? Who was dragged from Burlington Memorial Auditorium in the midst of an oddly extravagant protest?

Stride through centuries of conflict, faith, and change. Every step uncovers new drama and unexpected beauty—see Burlington not just as a city, but as a living storybook.

Dive in and let Burlington reveal what it’s kept hidden.
