Historic Baton Rouge Walking Tour
About Tour:
Welcome Baton Rouge, the capital of the great state of Louisiana.
On this Historic Baton Rouge Walking tour, I’ll be guiding you to Baton Rogue’s historic gems, and sharing its stories.
You’ll see the old Governor’s Mansion, the old state capital, the Mississippi, the Red Stick statue, the best local place to each Cajun food, civil rights historic spots, the state capital and get a chance to take the elevator to the 28th floor to the observation deck to get a view of the city.
And I’ll share with you this city’s history, secrets, the story of the swamp blues, the history of the Canadians that became raging Cajuns, Mark Twain’s feelings of the city, the little white house, the castle and so much more.
The tour starts at the Old Governor’s mansion. I’ll meet you there.
