Immerse yourself in Louisiana’s rich culture by touring Louisiana's Old State Capitol, a National Historic Landmark standing high on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. It houses the Museum of Political History which contains several state-of-the-art exhibits. Though Mark Twain didn't much care for Louisiana's Old State Capitol, as depicted in his book "Life on the Mississippi," Louisiana's "Castle On The River" is the recipient of many distinguished awards for architecture and exhibit design. Climb the cast iron staircase and view a stained glass cathedral dome in this unique blend of Gothic and Victorian architecture. Learn about infamous Governor Huey P. Long's time in office as well as the stories that surround his assassination. Make your visit easy by booking a tour of the Old State Capitol. Experienced guides will share stories and expose you to Baton Rouge's rich history. Be sure to stop by the gift shop on your way out to get a souvenir or two to remember the day!
