Philadelphia Audio Tour: West Side Stories and Hidden Heritage

Audio guide13 stops

A street in Philadelphia once teemed with wounded Civil War soldiers, now quietly overgrown beneath city feet. Look closer and these city blocks ignite with untold secrets and hidden dramas. Take this self-guided audio tour to dive behind the obvious. Uncover stories most never hear as you wander from Clark Park’s shaded paths to the silent bones of the Philadelphia Arena and the ghostly grounds of Satterlee General Hospital. What shocking scandal forced rivals to face off beneath arena lights? Which legendary rebel vanished without a trace near the hospital’s edge? Why do chess games in Clark Park sometimes seem like coded reenactments of forgotten wartime strategies? Move through decades of upheaval and intrigue. Let whispers of political battles and citywide mysteries tug you from street to street. This is Philadelphia seen anew: alive with secrets, unrest and the pulse of living history. Start listening. Let the city reveal what it remembers.
