About this event
Embark on the Alexandria Audio Tour: Echoes of Freedom and Faith
Beneath Alexandria’s genteel streets, shadows linger from America’s most tumultuous chapters. Each brick and statue holds echoes of rebellion, political games, and stunning acts of courage that shaped a divided nation.
This self-guided audio tour pulls back the curtain on the city’s hidden past, guiding you through alleys and monuments where history’s secrets still whisper. Discover what most visitors miss—uncensored, up close, and in the very spots it happened.
Why did a single office spark national scandal and heartbreak? What secret meeting shifted the fate of Appomattox forever? And who still leaves anonymous lilies outside St. Paul’s every June 3rd?
Move through Alexandria with fresh eyes and heightened senses. The stories that unfold will deepen every footstep, turning familiar streets into a stage for ambition, loss, and hard-won freedom.
History waits beneath the surface. Press play and dig deeper.
