A city built on rose beds and rebellion, Tyler’s heart beats with secrets beneath its brick streets and stained glass. This self-guided audio tour cracks open downtown’s elegant façade to reveal lost scandals, battles over power, and the whispers of old magnates.

Who risked it all inside the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception while the city watched? What shadowy deal brought the Blackstone Building from grandeur to near-forgotten mystery? Why does the Goodman–LeGrand House guard a portrait that no historian can trace?

Wander from ornate chapels to ornate mansions to silent sentinels of boomtown ambition. Hear rumors echo through sunlit oak branches and let the city’s past tug at your sense of wonder. With each step, trade tourist paths for hidden drama and secret triumphs.

Tyler’s untold stories await. Start walking and lift history’s veil.
