Washington Audio Tour: Capitol Corners, Sacred Spaces & Storied Streets

Audio guide13 stops

Iron keyholes and marble columns—Washington’s secrets run deeper than its storied monuments. Hidden behind the Capitol’s grandeur and tucked within brick-lined streets, a web of rebellion, ambition, and betrayal waits. Trace this self-guided audio tour to uncover dramatic stories set in the city’s most overlooked places. Meet revolutionaries, poets, and power brokers where their fates tangled in silence. Why did the bells of Christ Church ring as chaos rippled through Washington? What coded whispers led to intrigue at the Folger Shakespeare Library? Which forgotten president hid scandal among the painted ceilings of the Thomas Jefferson Building? Move along secret walkways and through echoing halls where history’s drama still lingers. See the city through new eyes—each landmark a stage for vanished battles and breathtaking truths. Press play. Unlock the darker side of Washington’s history, and let even the shadows sharpen your journey.
