About this event
Embark on the New Haven Audio Tour: Ivy League Legends and Timeless Treasures
Underneath New Haven’s leafy canopy, secret societies shape destinies while scholars guard treasures behind veiled doors. These streets pulse with stories most people never hear.
This self-guided audio tour uncovers hidden chapters and unexpected corners. Walk the same squares that sparked rebellions, wander halls lined with forbidden manuscripts, and unlock mysteries most visitors rush past.
What legacy hid among the gravestones that once covered the Green? Which forbidden collection in the Beinecke Library triggered a national scandal? Whose fingerprints linger on a secret shelf in Sterling Memorial, sealed for decades?
Trace power struggles and poetic whispers as you stride between libraries and epic public spaces. Let drama tug you through marble arches and sun-dappled lawns until New Haven feels changed beneath your feet.
Ready to listen closer and see what others overlook? Begin your journey where the stories begin—right in the heart of the city.
