Two cities stitched by rail and legend meet beneath your feet, where a single building straddles both Texas and Arkansas, and every stone hints at hidden tales.

This self-guided audio tour winds through Texarkana’s streets, letting you unlock secret histories and unexpected moments that most visitors never glimpse.

What heated arguments once thundered through the halls of the United States Post Office and Courthouse when its authority was questioned? Who vanished inside Union Station, leaving behind only whispers and unanswered letters? Why does an unassuming monument for Confederate mothers spark outrage and quiet debates to this day?

Trace stories of political intrigue, disappearances, and whispers of scandal as you move from grand facades to shadowed corners. Discover the dual heart of a city where every crossing is charged with possibility.

Start your walk at the line that splits states and time, and let Texarkana’s secrets reveal themselves with every step.
