On a silent Kent evening, echoes from decades past still ripple through the streets, where athletic giants once roared, steam engines fired rebellions, and quiet sanctuaries hid brave dissenters in plain sight.

This self-guided audio tour invites you to peel back Kent’s charming facade and uncover the stories that shaped its soul—one stride at a time. See beyond the crowds to the places and moments most travelers overlook.

Which chilling event at the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center once brought the city to a standstill? What secret invention in the Industrial District shifted the town’s fate forever? And whose anonymous letter sent a tremor through the Unitarian Universalist Church’s hallowed halls?

Move from the thunder of stadiums to the hush of sacred pews and the clatter of factory floors. Each step reveals another twist in Kent’s dramatic journey, challenging you to see the city’s legacy with new eyes.
