Embark on the Providence Audio Tour: Hidden Stories of Ivy, Spires, and City Lights

A midnight secret echoes beneath Providence’s cobblestone streets where church bells once masked the sound of revolution. This self-guided audio tour leads through the city’s bold heart, unveiling stories that hide behind stained-glass windows and inside art-filled corridors—places most passersby only glimpse in silence.

Who once risked everything in the First Baptist Church’s wooden pews as whispers of rebellion spread? What hidden message guards the steps of the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul? And why did a single paintbrush at the RISD Museum spark a ripple felt far beyond Rhode Island?

Wander through epic sanctuaries and into brilliantly lit galleries. Trace moments where art clashed with faith and ambition toppled tradition, all while Providence reveals its dramatic face with each step.

Let your journey begin where the city’s oldest secrets and boldest dreams are waiting just beneath the surface.
