Blue paint splatters under a Somerville bridge still hide a secret from the city’s wildest midnight protest. Cambridge’s cobblestones echo with footsteps of rebellious poets and scandal-soaked ministers.

Trace your own path through these vibrant neighborhoods on a self-guided audio tour that leads you past regular facades into the strange heart of Middlesex County. Discover hidden tombstones, offbeat legends, and stories the guidebooks never reveal.

Why did angry voices once ring out across Davis Square and set the city jittering overnight? What dark legend still surrounds the quiet walls of St. John the Evangelist? Which famous invention almost failed beside Porter station because of a stubborn goat?

Move through sunlight-dappled streets, shadowy alleys, and centuries of daring choices. Each landmark crackles with drama and surprise. By the end, see Middlesex transformed—its hidden side revealed.

Cue up your headphones. The city’s secrets are waiting.
