Beneath Peoria’s stately skyline, secrets echo through halls of justice and across cathedral spires. Few cities balance tradition and turbulence quite like this one.

This self-guided audio tour sweeps you from Olde Towne’s storied streets to majestic landmarks. Trace legends and scandals hidden in plain sight and unlock stories even locals overlook.

Why did courthouse doors once slam shut on history’s most controversial trial? Which saintly figure washed away a city’s secret shame beneath the grand cathedral’s stained glass? Whose name lingers in the shadows backstage at the Peoria Civic Center, refusing to fade from memory?

Move through time as city blocks pulse with drama. Wander beneath marble façades, past whispered intrigues, and into quiet corners tinged with power and penance. Leave no stone unturned and feel Peoria’s spirit rising in every step.

Ready to uncover what Peoria’s walls never meant to reveal? The city’s untold story starts right now.
