Fire once raged on Flint’s skyline, but the city stood tall—reinventing itself behind marble columns and iron railings. Scratch beneath the polished surface to find a city of rebels, tycoons, and visionaries whose legacies still echo along these storied sidewalks.

This self-guided audio tour leads through Flint’s hidden corridors and monumental facades, unveiling the city’s best-kept secrets and bizarre turning points that history books forget.

What furious showdown at the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation Building nearly shifted the fate of the auto industry? Why did spirits reportedly linger in the soaring halls of the Capitol Theatre, long after the curtain dropped? And which unsolved betrayal inside the Durant-Dort Carriage Company Office still leaves locals guessing?

Walk where drama once ruled and forgotten dreams hide in plain sight. This journey transforms downtown Flint into a vivid stage of untold scandal, endurance, and imagination.

Begin the tour and let Flint’s hidden truths rise from the shadows.
