A freezing river once drew a border through fate and fortune in Grand Forks, its banks hiding secrets few ever learn. Historic brick and limestone breathe out rivalries and lost legends on every corner.

This self-guided audio tour peels back the layers of East Grand Forks and downtown, revealing stories that textbooks forgot and locals whisper about. These streets hold clues that reward the curious.

Which shadowy power struggle rewrote justice in the Ronald N. Davies Federal Building? What unsolved riddle still haunts the old Sacred Heart High School hallways? Why did a single downtown block ignite a scandal that threatened careers and friendships alike?

Move through time and tension as alleys, churches, and courtrooms offer up mystery and revelation. Each step transforms familiar pavement into a stage for drama with echoes that linger.

Hit play and let the river’s secrets call you onward. Grand Forks has stories waiting.
