Scranton Audio Tour: From Iron Rails to Culture in The Flats

Embark on the Scranton Audio Tour: From Iron Rails to Culture in The Flats

Smoke once rose above the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant as quiet churches plotted their own battles for the city’s soul. Most visitors only see the shadows of Scranton’s past. On this self-guided audio tour, unlock hidden stories behind The Flats, the grand Diocese of Scranton, and the silent halls of the Albright Memorial Building.

What secret scandal rocked the heart of the diocese in the early 20th century? Who slipped unnoticed into the depths of the ammunition plant when the city wasn’t looking? And why do researchers whisper about a lost map tucked somewhere in the Albright Memorial archives?

Wander busy streets and unlikely alleyways. Trace lines between defiant rebels, political plots, and the muffled footsteps of forgotten dreamers. Each landmark offers a new window to the city’s real past, drawing you through a Scranton few have ever truly seen.

Are you ready to find the stories hiding in plain sight?
