Ice once ruled Oswego’s riverbanks—and so did spies, smugglers, and silent rebels hiding in plain sight. Beneath the surface of these historic streets lies a world of secret passages, blockbuster betrayals, and survival against all odds.

Take this self-guided audio tour and unlock the stories tucked behind heavy stone walls and centuries-old facades. Discover the moments and mysteries most visitors walk past without a second thought.

Why did a midnight cannon volley spark panic across the entire coastline? Who vanished from the Walton and Willett Stone Store, leaving only rumors in their wake? What peculiar item remains locked away in the Oswego City Library and why does nobody talk about it?

Trace the city’s hidden history as you move from riverside strongholds to forbidden rooms and shadowy corners. Each step brings a fresh jolt of revelation, shifting how you see Oswego forever.

Start your journey—let Oswego finally show you its best-kept secrets.
