Baton Rouge favorites
In Baton Rouge, intriguing history and fascinating architecture wait around every corner — here’s our list of favorites.
USS KIDD Veterans Memorial
Climb aboard the “Pirate of the Pacific” and learn all about the USS KIDD destroyer ship. Today, the 1943 ship serves as a movie set and a memorial for World War II veterans from Louisiana. While you’re there in the city center, don’t miss the observation tower and model ship collection.
Magnolia Mound Plantation House
Step back in time on this 18th-century estate built at the height of French and West Indies-influenced architecture. Surrounded by ancient oaks, it’s an atmospheric place where you can contemplate Baton Rouge’s rich history.
Old State Capitol
Built in 1847, Baton Rouge’s Old State Capitol is a Gothic-Revival structure designed to look like a castle. Now a museum covering topics like the Civil War and former Louisiana Governor Huey Long, it’s well worth a visit during your road trip or business trip.
