Pittsburgh Audio Tour: Legends and Landmarks of North Oakland
In North Oakland, the shadows of revolution and discovery cling to every stone—from gilded domes to silent corridors. This self-guided audio tour peels back the city’s polished surface to reveal the untold drama beneath. Wander beyond the crowds and uncover radical ideas, secret societies, and moments that rewrote Pittsburgh’s fate. What caused a near-riot inside Thaw Hall one icy winter night? Which monument hides a scandal whispered about for decades at the Stephen Foster Memorial? Whose ghostly footsteps echo through the gilded halls of William Pitt Union—leaving behind only a single, cryptic note? Stride through a landscape where history erupts in protest and invention, where every building hums with long-buried tension. Expect to cross dividing lines, chase after forgotten headlines, and witness North Oakland transform before your eyes. Step into the stories that refuse to stay silent. The city is waiting.
