Two cities, one foundation stone—Texarkana’s Union Station sits exactly on the border, where state lines and secrets collide. Hidden between split jurisdictions and quiet monuments are stories that echo with conflict and unlikely alliances.

This self-guided audio tour leads down corridors where justice was debated, rebellion whispered, and divided loyalties shaped the streets. Dive off the beaten path to encounter the places and legends most visitors never find.

Who once tried to bury scandal beneath the steps of the United States Post Office and Courthouse? What mysterious oath binds the Confederate Mothers Monument to local legends? Why do railway tracks at Union Station hold the memory of a midnight escape no one dares discuss?

Uncover Texarkana’s double identity as the tour sweeps you from law to legend and from memorial silence to the pulsing heart of intrigue. See a border city transform as each secret comes alive.

Start exploring—every stone holds a story waiting just for you.
