Beneath Columbus’s polished skyline, secrets ripple through the city’s halls, cathedrals, and corporate towers. Unexpected intrigue hides in plain sight.

This self-guided audio tour is your backstage pass to stories and corners most travelers overlook. Walk the heart of Columbus and unlock a world of scandals, legendary power plays, and quiet revolutions written into stone and steel.

Why did political tensions nearly erupt inside the Rhodes State Office Tower? What cryptic ritual once echoed beneath the vaulted arches of St Joseph Cathedral? And how did a single banker’s private feud nearly topple Huntington Bancshares from within?

Stride down sunlit streets and shadowy corridors alike. Trace conflict, secrets, ambition, and faith as each landmark pulls you deeper into Columbus’s living history. Rediscover the city from the inside out, every step charged with drama and new perspectives.

Are you ready to step beyond the city’s shine and see what pulses just beneath? Press play and begin.
