A statue gazes down from granite steps while hidden corridors echo with secrets of power and protest in Lincoln’s heart. The Capitol View district is more than handsome facades—it’s a battleground of ambition, tragedy, and hidden deals.

Set out on a self-guided audio tour that slips behind the scenes and beneath the marble. Uncover the dramas carved into courtrooms, gardens, and city corners that most travelers never see.

Why did a furious crowd once gather beneath Abraham Lincoln’s watchful bronze gaze? What scandals haunted the Governor’s Mansion on quiet, lamp-lit nights? Who left an enigmatic scratch on Supreme Court stonework, and why?

Wind through stories of rebellion and renewal as the city rises and changes around you. Trace pathways where history cracked open—then stepped quietly away. Feel Lincoln’s past pulse under your feet.
