Barre Audio Tour: Granite Giants and Hidden Histories

Audio guide14 stops

Beneath Barre’s granite-clad streets lies a city shaped by legends, labor, and a touch of mystery. On this immersive self-guided audio tour, wander from the quiet grandeur of Saint Monica’s Church to the lively echoes of the Barre Opera House and halls of the Vermont Historical Society as surprising stories unfold around every corner. What secret nearly tore Barre’s city council apart in a late-night standoff? Which vanished artifact still stirs rumors beneath the historical society’s displays? Why did a single cracked bell once send Saint Monica’s parish into uproar? Move through grand civic spaces and tucked-away alleys, tracing rebellions no plaque remembers and scandals sung about in whispers. Unlock Barre’s deeper identity as each stop reveals drama hidden in plain sight. Ready to walk into Barre’s true story and see beyond stone facades? Press play—the city’s secrets are waiting.
