A century-old chandelier once cast its light on vaudeville scandals while secret societies met just a few blocks away. Saginaw hides wild tales behind stately facades and beneath its quiet streets.

This is your self-guided audio tour through Saginaw’s historic heart. Unlock the city’s most surprising stories and corners that many visitors overlook. Each step brings new details into focus—if you know where to listen.

What drove an infamous political showdown inside the majestic Temple Theatre? Why does a statue at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption seem to watch every passerby? And how did a misplaced telegram at the Castle Museum ignite citywide whispers few now remember?

Move through ornate lobbies and sunlit plazas on a journey that peels back Saginaw’s layers. Experience the pulse of drama, discovery, and history coming alive at your feet.

So start your adventure where the chandelier’s secrets still glimmer—let Saginaw’s stories catch you by surprise.
