A marble dome glitters above the city while echoes of courtroom drama and underground rebellion ripple beneath its modern streets. Downtown Hartford hides a history far bolder than its skyline suggests.

Unlock this world with a self-guided audio tour that leads you through iconic sites like PeoplesBank Arena, the Connecticut Supreme Court, the State Capitol, and secret corners in between. Trace the footsteps of politicians, outlaws, and everyday dreamers as the stories unfold right where they happened.

Who smuggled forbidden papers through the corridors of power during a midnight storm? What secret sealed the fate of a judge inside the Supreme Court’s hallowed halls? Which fleeting scandal almost toppled a legend beneath the dazzling lights of the arena?

Move from marble steps to hidden alleyways, letting each moment reshape your sense of Hartford. Feel the pulse of old struggles, whispered schemes, and heart-pounding decisions as you roam.

Hear the city’s secrets. Begin your journey now.
