A glass tower pierces the Columbus sky while ancient bells toll just steps away, hiding secrets of power, faith, and fortune in the city’s very heart.

Venture on a self-guided audio tour through Columbus where the true stories linger beneath familiar sights and quiet corners. Hear the tales that locals whisper and most travelers rush past.

Which towering building once hid the fallout of a political scandal that shook the state’s core? What shadowy intrigue echoes beneath the soaring arches of St. Joseph Cathedral? And why do employees at Huntington Bancshares still swap stories about a vanished vault and its mysterious contents?

Move through downtown streets swept by history, discovering echoes of rebellion, silent prayers, and fortunes gambled beneath marble and glass. Each step uncovers another layer as the city reveals new faces and forgotten moments.
