Beneath Lynchburg’s peaceful streets, secrets simmer—some carved in elegant façades, others etched on battle-scarred courts. This self-guided audio tour leads straight into that hidden heart, unlocking gripping stories and overlooked legends all across the city.

What heated whispers once echoed behind the doors of the Dicks-Elliott House during a midnight political upheaval? Could a lost trophy at Dr. Robert Walter Johnson’s Tennis Court have been the spark for a national movement? And why did a single misplaced letter at the Carter Glass House ripple through the nation’s financial history?

Walk in the footsteps of rebels, visionaries, and unsung heroes. Each turn brings scandal, wonder, and moments that will have you questioning every brick and shadow. See Lynchburg revealed, alive with ambition and intrigue.
