Hidden Herald
What do you see when you walk downtown St. Paul? What do you think you know about this place by looking at the building facades, the people driving past, sitting on park benches, or sleeping on the sidewalk? We think there’s a lot more to know than meets the eye about the people and places who make this city special and make this city run.
Hidden Herald is a series of short audio plays accessible via QR codes on the streets of St. Paul. Season 2 launched in July of 2025, and told stories of the people and places that make up Downtown St. Paul and the Payne Phalen neighborhood. Learn how to access the audio plays here.
