Peel back the layers of this city with a self-guided audio tour that plunges past the medical miracles of Mayo Clinic and the splendor of the Plummer Building to unveil stories that most walk right by. How did a single midnight telegram spark a national health revolution? Which shadowy figure vanished from Chateau Theatre one frosty night, never to be seen again? And what bizarre wager between surgeons still echoes inside a quiet downtown alley? Stride through corridors of power and alleys of intrigue. Stand where rivalries exploded and watch history’s grandest experiments come alive. Every corner offers a new angle, from dramatic showdowns to oddball legends—all ready to reshape your sense of Rochester. History waits in plain sight.
