Audio Tour of Princeton University
Overview
Princeton sits at a rare intersection of colonial history, revolutionary politics, and world-changing intellect. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll trace how a small colonial college became a cradle of American democracy, shaped by presidents, physicists, and a few literary legends along the way. The tour starts at the FitzRandolph Gate, the ceremonial entrance most students refuse to use for fear of never graduating. From here, you'll explore Nassau Hall, which briefly served as the United States Capitol in 1783, and wind through the Gothic archways of East Pyne Hall, a courtyard that has doubled as a film set for A Beautiful Mind, Transformers, and Oppenheimer. You'll pass through the modest home where Albert Einstein lived for 20 years. You'll also pass the site of Princeton's only unsolved murder. You'll pass Princeton University's elegant Greek Revival guest house before returning along Nassau Street to the FitzRandolph Gate, where the tour ends.
