Hidden History

Did you know there was a 1920s speakeasy with a secret door hidden beneath Fayetteville Street? Or that an old cobblestone tunnel is hidden underneath an abandoned baseball stadium in downtown?

Come see remains of an abandoned theme park that once overlooked Glenwood Avenue, and take a closer look at the century-old walls of an abandoned hospital. We'll even explore a park that hides ruins of an entire 1800s university you likely never knew existed.

Our Hidden History of Raleigh tour runs 1.5 hours and takes you for an up-close look at incredible lost ruins you likely drive past every day without ever realizing it. Your guide is fifth-generation Raleighite Heather Leah, whose award-winning Hidden History segment has appeared on both local and national television and publications.

Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes and comfortable clothes, as we will likely get off the trolley to see some locations firsthand
