Beneath Fall River’s quiet streets lie the echoes of shipwrecks, spiritual revolutions, and whispered secrets that never made the history books.

This self-guided audio tour invites a curious mind to wander beyond postcard views, drawing you into shadowed corners and monumental halls that most visitors miss. Each step unlocks the beating heart of the city’s past.

What happened aboard the USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. that nearly changed the course of a nation overnight? Which ghostly visitor is still rumored to leave midnight offerings at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption? And why is one faded parish door at Santo Christo Church forever stained with the scent of cloves?

Move through Fall River as its drama unfolds—glide from riverbank to steeple, past stained glass suns and steel memories. Every story reveals a new side to a city you thought you knew.

Begin the journey. Let Fall River surprise you.
