Embark on the Joliet Audio Tour: Echoes of Grandeur from Gilded Halls to Historic Streets

Once a gritty crossroads of railroads and rogues, Joliet hides tales beneath every brick and marquee. Here, stone lions guard secret stories and echoes of glory thunder from a ballpark’s open diamond.

Plug in for this self-guided audio adventure that threads through the city’s heart. Unearth scandals and turning points most visitors rush right past.

Who vanished backstage at the Rialto Square Theatre during the Roaring Twenties, leaving only whispers behind? Why did fans once leap over fences at Duly Health and Care Field, triggering mayhem under stadium lights? What quiet rebellion brewed on a porch in the Joliet East Side Historic District, forever shifting local history in a single afternoon?

Stride between soaring columns, ornate facades and hidden alleyways. Each stop peels back new layers of drama and intrigue, shifting how Joliet is seen and felt.

Let the city’s secrets call—press play and start turning the pages few ever read.
