Embark on the Pittsburgh Audio Tour: Steel City Stories and Rivers of Legacy

Steel and secrets shape Pittsburgh’s skyline, but few see the layers of intrigue beneath its iconic bridges and ballparks.

This self-guided audio tour leads through the city’s beating heart, revealing stories that slip past most visitors. Roam where unsolved mysteries echo and untold dramas still shape the steel city’s soul.

What hidden scandal once brought the David L. Lawrence Convention Center to a standstill? Which long-gone riot disrupted Exposition Park, rewriting sporting history overnight? And who left a coded message tucked behind the scoreboard at PNC Park with no explanation?

Move from the pulse of modern stadiums to the silent footprints of rebel ballplayers and rival politicians. Cross rivers of rumor and walk cobblestone tales that crackle with energy. By journey’s end, Pittsburgh’s history won’t just be seen—it’ll be felt.

Let the city’s secrets unfold. Press play and start uncovering what Pittsburgh really keeps beneath its steel and glass.
