Embark on the Columbus Audio Tour: Ice Cream, Innovation, and Iconic Landmarks

Columbus gleams with cutting-edge architecture but beneath the glass and stone, intense rivalries and even grander ambitions once shaped the city’s heart.

Uncover the hidden pulse of Columbus with a self-guided audio tour that dives beneath the surface. Roam from sacred spaces to theaters and libraries, piecing together stories locals rarely share.

Why did a fierce power struggle erupt inside First Christian Church's modern walls? Who vanished behind The Crump Theatre’s ornate façade, leaving only whispers? And what rare book vanished from Cleo Rogers Memorial Library, launching a quiet scandal in the stacks?

Journey through corridors of controversy, marvel at design triumphs, and tread the same ground where fights for influence, hushed secrets, and small-town dreams etched their mark. Columbus transforms at every turn, revealing the shadows that shaped its striking beauty.

Step in and see Columbus not just as a city of style, but as a puzzle of drama, mystery, and bold ambition.
