Baton Rouge Travel Guide |
Old State CapitolThe historic Old State Capitol Gothic building, once described
by Mark Twain as being 'the ugliest thing on the Mississippi', sits
on a bluff overlooking the river and today operates as a centre for
political and governmental history. The building was completed in
1849 and housed the Louisiana Legislature until Union forces
captured the city of Baton Rouge in 1862. The legislature returned
to the building in 1882 and stayed until the new capitol was
completed in 1932. The old Capitol has now been restored and houses
a museum featuring state-of-the-art interactive exhibits and
multi-media presentations detailing Louisiana's past and political
history. Address: 100 North Boulevard at River Road Website: www.sos.louisiana.gov/tabid/245/Default.aspx Telephone: (225) 342 0500 Opening Time: Tuesday to Saturday 10am-4pm; Sunday 12pm-4pm. Open
