A naval vessel once aimed its guns not at enemies overseas but right here, casting shadows across Fall River’s restless streets. Beneath the city’s steeples and beside rusting hulls, secrets lie waiting to be uncovered.

This self-guided audio tour leads you between riverbanks, battle memorials, and soaring cathedrals. Discover hidden corners and untold tales missed by most visitors.

Which whispered warning nearly sparked a mutiny aboard the USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.? What silent vow echoes through the colored glass of St. Mary’s Cathedral? Why did a simple feast at Santo Christo Church trigger a city-wide stir that lingers to this day?

Move through Fall River’s backstreets and grand halls. Trace the legacy of rebels, visionaries, and everyday heroes. Every step reveals drama and scandal beneath the city’s stately brickwork.
