Madison Audio Tour: Capitol Echoes and Hidden Architectural Gems
Rain-slicked marble and the echo of secret deals shape Madison’s Capitol, but beneath the surface, stranger stories sleep. This self-guided audio tour leads you into the city’s deepest vaults of power, faith, and invention. Get ready to unlock the stories most visitors walk right past. What happened on election night when the city held its breath? Why did Saint Raphael’s rise from ashes and whose shadows linger in its quiet corners? And what was smuggled through the tunnels beneath Monona Terrace that changed history? Follow the paths of rebels and visionaries as you circle domes, pass shattered cathedrals, and step onto rooftop vistas where revolutions once brewed. Each stop pulses with scandal and intrigue, every street promising revelations that warp what you thought you knew. Let Madison reveal its true face. Plug in and begin the hunt for what lies just out of sight.
