A skyline once crowned by the tallest building between New York and Chicago hides centuries of ambition, intrigue, and hush-hush scandals behind its gleaming facades.

Uncover these layers with a self-guided audio tour that unveils Downtown’s secret past. Head off the beaten track and find stories that slip by most visitors.

Which confrontation beneath Carew Tower sent shockwaves through city politics? Who vanished from the seat of the Archdiocese, leaving whispers of conspiracy that still ripple today? And why did a bizarre monolith turn the Lytle Park Historic District upside down—for one unforgettable night?

Traverse towering heights and cobbled corners as the pulse of Cincinnati’s history moves beneath your feet. Wander from riotous rallies to silent sanctuaries, and watch old scandals come alive among the modern hustle.
