In the heart of St. Cloud, shadows of cathedral spires stretch across streets where untold secrets simmer just below the surface. Thread your way through this self-guided audio tour and uncover the stories that textbooks and travel guides leave behind. Why did the ground tremble with devastating force in 1998, forever reshaping local memory? What hidden relic stands tucked away in the vaulted silence of the Great River Regional Library? And who left their mark on the Cathedral of Saint Mary in ways the stained glass cannot reveal?

Move through corridors of power, scenes of disaster, quiet sanctuaries, and the small corners where scandal once flickered to life. Each stop peels back a new layer, drawing you into the heartbeat of St. Cloud and a history waiting to reveal itself.

Begin your journey now and let St. Cloud’s mysteries catch you where the spires cast their longest shadows.
