Embark on the Anniston Audio Tour: Echoes of Industry, Faith, and Southern Splendor

A nearly forgotten telegram once sparked a citywide uproar on Anniston’s quiet streets. Behind these historic facades waits a world of secret alliances, fiery debates, and midnight mysteries just beneath the surface.

This self-guided audio tour peels back Anniston’s layers, revealing iconic spots and little-known tales most visitors never hear. Hear the voices echoing through Temple Beth-El, the whispers in Grace Episcopal’s stained glass, the drama that once lit up the Lyric Theatre, and the secrets that bind them all.

Why did a church’s bell ring out the warning night after night in 1917? Which vanished artifact from the Lyric’s heyday still haunts its velvet seats? Who altered city history from inside a locked Beth-El study?

Move from one vivid scene to the next, tracing rebellion, revelation, and scandal through every block. Watch Anniston transform beneath your feet and see its true story unfold.

The doors are open—step through and claim the city’s hidden heart.
