Durham Audio Tour: Echoes of Tobacco, Faith, and Legacy
A minor league baseball game here once sparked a citywide riot that few locals dare discuss.

Hear the secrets stitched into brick, marble, and memory. Discover how the city’s biggest stars and strangest stories unfolded in corners most travelers overlook. Why did a monument become the spark for a furious midnight protest? What secrets does the Durham Performing Arts Center curtain conceal after dark? Could a ballpark hotdog really have caused a political scandal? Move from shadows to spotlights along storied sidewalks, feeling the rush of history beneath your feet. Each landmark crackles with drama as Durham opens up in bursts of color and conflict. Your own discovery awaits. Listen in and uncover the real Durham just beneath the surface.
