In the heart of New Haven, a grassy common once served as a meeting ground for witch trials and revolution. Shadows of rebellion and rare treasures linger just beneath the city’s polished surface.

This self-guided audio tour leads through stories tucked inside iconic spaces and quiet corners. Uncover the secrets and scandals that most visitors miss as you trace the footsteps of rebels, scholars, and visionaries.

Why did furious crowds once storm the steps of the New Haven Green? What haunting riddle is pressed between the pages of the Beinecke Library’s most famous manuscript? Which secret society’s prank echoed through the stacks of Sterling Memorial Library—and why did the trail go cold?

Walk where drama bled into history and whispers echo through marble halls. Every block invites a new revelation and hidden tale.

Begin the search and dive into the city where rebellion and rumour still shape every stone.
