Dubuque Audio Tour: Sacred Spires, Grand Halls, and Timeless Treasures
High above the Mississippi, Dubuque’s soaring spires hide secrets as old as Iowa itself. Beneath this city’s quiet charm run tales of rebellion, faith, and flickers of scandal echoing through stained glass and shadowed pews. Set out on a self-guided audio journey through Dubuque’s storied streets. Move beyond surface sightseeing and uncover stories waiting where most visitors never pause to look. Which hidden confessional at St. Raphael’s Cathedral sheltered whispered prayers during a city-wide crisis? Who vanished from St. Mary’s steps, leaving the congregation in shock and suspicion? Why did a famous stained glass window at St. Luke’s nearly spark a political feud that split the neighborhood? Let footsteps carry you through gothic arches and cobbled corners, trading routine for revelation and transforming each stone and story into an unfolding drama. Begin your journey and see how Dubuque’s secrets shift in the light.
