A whisper once saved Charleston from fire—while hidden rebellions stirred in the shadow of its soaring churches. Beneath these cobbled streets lies a city of secrets and sudden drama.

This self-guided audio tour invites you to trace Charleston’s vibrant pulse, unlocking stories that most visitors never hear. Wander between Unitarian steeples and the echoing lawns of Marion Square, discovering drama etched into stone and scandal woven through stained glass.

Who conspired under the palmettos to spark an uprising against tyranny? Why did ancient graveyards hide messages nobody was meant to see? What led a German congregation to paint their church doors that exact unsettling shade of blue?

Follow twisting lanes alive with whispers. Stand under bell towers that once tolled warnings. Each step reveals Charleston anew—a city of beauty, unrest, and untold intrigue.

Begin the journey, and listen for the echoes history left behind.
