A secret once echoed through Hillsboro’s downtown—one that shaped the city’s power and character beneath its modern facade.

Set out on a self-guided audio tour winding from the grand halls of the Civic Center to the storied walls of the Venetian Theatre and beyond. Uncover the backstories, scandals, and local legends most visitors walk past without a second glance.

Which late-night confrontation outside the Hillsboro Police Department sparked a citywide uproar? What forgotten performer vanished after a mysterious final show at the Venetian? Where in these streets did an offbeat mayor launch his silent rebellion against the state?

Move through sunlight and shadow, listening as each block reveals its secrets. Trace hidden drama in everyday alleys. The past collides with the present and every step turns an ordinary visit into a citywide investigation.

Press play and let Hillsboro unveil the stories it only whispers to those who truly listen.
