This self-guided audio tour leads you through the University of Kentucky’s most iconic and overlooked landmarks. Unlock stories of power struggles, forgotten artists, scandalous celebrations, and the moments history hoped you would miss.

Whose voices shook Memorial Hall until the walls seemed ready to crack? What legendary event almost turned Memorial Coliseum into a battleground? Why does the Singletary Center keep one particular seat unlisted?
