A century-old mural hides in plain sight above Hartford’s bustling streets, hinting that Connecticut’s capital guards more secrets than first meets the eye.

Trace the city’s dramatic past with a self-guided audio tour that peels back the familiar. Find yourself sidestepping crowds and stepping straight into the shadows of the city’s most storied landmarks. Each stop reveals legends and moments most visitors walk right past.

Which political scandal inside the PeoplesBank Arena nearly changed Hartford’s future overnight? What mysterious artifact vanished from the Wadsworth Atheneum, leaving curators baffled? And why did a forgotten fire alter the shape of downtown Hartford forever?

Wander from columned facades to modern marvels, crossing centuries in the space of a few blocks. Feel the tension of rivalries, the awe of lost masterpieces, and the thrill of stumbling upon unsolved mysteries threaded through the city’s heart.

Lift your gaze and begin. Hartford’s hidden side awaits.
