A Confederate general once plotted revolution in the shadow of Uptown’s grandest mansions. Columbus, Georgia keeps its boldest secrets behind ornate doors and weathered marquees.

Set out on a self-guided audio tour through Uptown, unearthing stories left out of travel guides. This journey slips you past facades and deeper into the drama, mystery, and scandal hiding in plain sight.

Which performance at the Springer Opera House spiraled into a citywide sensation—and why did the audience erupt? What silent deal was struck inside the Mott House that changed Columbus forever? And who left that coded message scratched into the wall at the Garrett-Bullock House?

Move through streets where jazz once sparked rebellion and faded whispers cling to brick. Uncover the city’s heartbeat as you travel from stage to secret chamber, from whispers to thunder.

Dare to open Columbus’s doors. Begin your adventure within the city’s storied shadows.
