Gary Audio Tour: Tales of Terraces, Steel & Sacred Spaces

Audio guide13 stops

Smoke once curled from Gary’s steel mills as gospel choirs soared from cathedral walls—echoes still ripple under empty windows and neon-dim halls. Start this self-guided audio tour through the city’s heart and out to its hidden edges. Discover stories and secrets baked into every brick, the kind that most visitors never hear. Who sparked the political uprising that shattered city hall’s silence? What shadow lingers in the ruins of City Methodist Church and whispers among stained glass? Why did scandal erupt at a stage where jazz legends once played to packed crowds? Stride through haunting sanctuaries and behind-the-scenes corridors. Stand where power once clashed and parades brought hope. See Gary as a tapestry of ambition, faith, and defiance with every step pounding over both memory and possibility. The story of Gary waits behind old walls. Press play and uncover what the steel city hides.
