Towering elms whisper secrets along the edge of Wesleyan’s campus where revolutions once simmered and fortunes rose and fell in silence. This self-guided audio tour unlocks Middletown’s hidden corridors, letting you peel back the polished façade and trace the echoes that most visitors pass by.

Why did a midnight duel nearly shake the South Green to its core? Which faded storefront in the Main Street Historic District hides a secret linked to a crooked mayor? What unexpected object once sparked a protest among Wesleyan’s students?

Move through centuries of ambition and intrigue, winding past gilded mansions and weathered statues. Each turn surprises with rivalry, forgotten rituals, and a cityscape shaped by bold dreams and bruised reputations. Feel the pulse of drama beneath your feet and watch familiar streets come alive with possibility.

The city’s layered stories are waiting. Begin your discovery and listen closer before the whispers fade.
