Under the shadow of Newark’s iconic skyline and the echo of jazz that once filled these streets, secrets wait behind proud façades. This city’s symphony has played host to revolutionaries, artists, and dreamers—but many of their stories hide in plain sight.

Set out on a self-guided audio tour that peels back layers of Newark’s legacy. Roam past the splendor of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the quiet wisdom of the Newark Public Library, the whispers among the arches of Hahne and Company, and beyond. Discover what most passersby never see.

Who risked everything for freedom on these downtown corners? Which book scandal nearly shut the library’s doors forever? What unusual artifact lies locked beneath a department store’s polished floors?

Trace drama and delight with every step you take. Encounter buried triumphs, notorious feuds, and unexpected wonder. This tour promises a Newark that’s live, unscripted, and utterly yours to uncover.
