A clock once counted down the perilous hours as fires raged and secret deals shaped the future in the heart of New Bern. This self-guided audio tour winds through storied streets, unearthing corners where buried truths and grand ambitions have left their mark—far beyond the postcard views that draw crowds.

Why did the bell at Baxter Clock ring out in the dead of night—was it warning or invitation? What unsolved riddle lingers in the sunlight filtering through First Church of Christ, Scientist? Which political gamble sealed the fate of the Benjamin Smith House on a storm-lashed evening, and what was left behind beneath its floorboards?

Trace power struggles, religious intrigue, and forgotten scandals. Move between eras as each landmark nudges the city’s secrets closer to the surface. See New Bern as a stage for rebellion and revelation, not just a pretty backdrop.

Let the first chime guide your steps. The city’s heartbeat is waiting.
