In Danville, the echo of a last desperate Confederate cabinet meeting lingers behind painted brick and weathered columns. Here, on quiet streets lined with grand mansions and shadowed warehouses, history hides in plain sight.

This self-guided audio tour leads through forgotten parlors and storied districts, revealing secrets most visitors never hear—until now.

What explosive confrontation almost toppled Danville’s political elite inside the William T. Sutherlin Mansion? Which coded messages slipped past Union eyes at Langhorne House, and what mysterious stash was uncovered beneath its floorboards? Who set the warehouses ablaze on a foggy morning, only to vanish into legend?

Walk from marble steps to mossy alleyways and feel Danville’s political drama, whispered scandals, and hidden revolts come alive as each new turn unlocks another buried tale. See southern history shift beneath your feet and watch the city reveal itself, one secret at a time.

Curiosity calls. Step inside the real stories behind Danville’s most storied walls.
