Embark on the Georgetown Audio Tour: Echoes of Heritage in Historic Halls & Hidden Homes

Fog rises from Royal Spring and whispers secrets over brick streets where bourbon legends and campus rebellions shaped Georgetown’s soul. History hides in plain sight here—just beneath the tranquil park lawns and behind the stately columns of Giddings Hall.

This self-guided audio tour invites discovery beyond the postcard views. Uncover the city’s hidden corners and long-buried stories that vanish for most who visit.

What happened in the Hawkins House that almost changed Kentucky’s political future overnight? Whose footsteps echo in Georgetown College’s oldest halls after midnight, carrying a secret never confessed? Why did an ordinary spring become the stage for a scandal that echoes to this day?

Follow twisting sidewalks and shadowed alleys as layers of drama, ambition, and intrigue come alive around you. Each landmark reveals fresh waves of surprise and awe.

Ready to walk the line between Georgetown’s peaceful charm and the shocking truths beneath? Press play and let the hidden stories begin.
