Embark on the Providence Audio Tour: From Steeples to Statehouse Stories

A whisper of rebellion rises from the ancient stones in Providence, where America’s oldest Baptist church casts its shadow across streets pulsing with creativity and secret tales. In this self-guided audio tour, uncover the city’s layered heart, passing iconic art halls and bustling shopping arcades, while discovering stories that slip through most travelers’ hands.

Why did a congregation defy the ruling powers here—risking everything? Which museum treasures were once the subjects of scandal and controversy? What hidden feature on Providence Place links back to a long-lost industrial intrigue?

Move through winding lanes and grand galleries where political battles, artistic revolutions, and everyday mysteries collide. Each stop peels back time, letting the city’s spirit breathe and pulling you into moments that shaped its soul.

Adventure waits where stone, paint, and rumor meet. Press play and let the secret life of Providence unfold beneath your feet.
