A city built on lakes hides its most intriguing secrets just beyond the reflections. Down Lakeland’s tree-lined streets, history and scandal ripple beneath the surface in places most stroll straight past.

This self-guided audio tour pulls you off the obvious path and into the real story. Follow your curiosity as rich tales unspool behind every corner, leading far beyond the headlines and into Lakeland’s soul.

Why did a midnight political deal at Lakeland station change a mayor’s fate overnight? Who left mysterious symbols in the archives of Lakeland Public Library, and what could they mean? And what hidden challenge at Hollis Garden left an entire festival bewildered for decades?

Step from sunlight into shadow, following memories and mysteries that leap from secret gardens to station platforms and beyond. Every turn brings new drama, unexpected voices, and the real city revealed.

Lakeland’s secrets are waiting. Press play and let them pull you in.
