Beneath Alexandria’s elegant brick facades, sinister plots and whispered secrets once shaped an entire nation.

Take a self-guided audio tour through hidden corners, shadowed courtyards, and echoing churches to uncover the stories woven through the city’s stones—stories most visitors never hear.

Why did desperate captives once pass through the Franklin and Armfield Office, changing the city’s destiny forever? What ghostly memory still lingers beneath the solemn bronze of the Appomattox statue? Which scandal at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church forced powerful men to risk everything under the cloak of night?

Every step leads through a living gallery of rebellion, resilience, and revelation. Follow winding streets and hear how Alexandria’s past pulses just beneath your feet, waiting to be unearthed.

Uncover the layers. Press play and let Alexandria’s hidden history draw you in—if you dare to look beneath the surface.
