Salem Audio Tour: Echoes of Wisdom and Wonders in the Heart of Oregon

Audio guide15 stops

A golden figure gazes over Salem from the Capitol dome, but beneath its steady watch lie tales of secret deals and stormy rebellions that shaped Oregon’s heart. Take this self-guided audio tour and unlock corners of the city hidden in plain sight, discovering histories most visitors overlook as you move from quiet courtyards to grand halls. What happened when a bold protest brought lawmakers to a standstill inside the Oregon State Capitol? Which priceless artwork at the Hallie Ford Museum vanished one stormy night? Why do the doors of the Oregon Supreme Court still bear scars from a hundred-year-old scandal? Wander beneath soaring marble, past shadowed statues, and along tree-lined avenues as you uncover the fierce debates, haunting mysteries, and surprising connections that pulse through Salem’s streets. Feel the city shift as you walk, each story sparking a new sense of wonder. Start the tour and see Salem’s secrets through the eyes of its golden sentinel.
