The only downside is a lack of parking; I recommend getting here early so you can guarantee a spot. Amazing stained glass upstairs. Downstairs has a very interesting room detailing the history of the various buildings that have been the Louisiana capital. Another interesting room detailing the restoration of this capital building. Also, they have a small alcove in one of the congress rooms upstairs with kids activities; the ones when I went were actually fun. They have a nice gift shop too: I found an awesome brown pelican plush there! Out front off to the side is a box car covered in the coats of arms of all the provinces in France; it's a bit more than that, but I'll let you see what it is for yourself. If you're in Baton Rouge and you're into history, I highly recommend you come here.
What a great spot! There is a video for $2 you can watch while there that should be better advertised, it was wonderful! It gives the history of the building and the evolution of how it came to be, then how it was restored. All of the exhibits were just perfect. I would recommend this for anyone in the area. The museum itself was free. You may have to pay for parking. I can not begin to say properly how beautiful this building is. Just come.
A beautiful place that looks like a castle from the outside and is full of history on the inside. There's a wealth of historical information to read and artifacts to examine. Free admission. No parking on-site, but plenty of inexpensive metered parking around.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree
Stunningly beautiful building both inside and out. When the sunshines through the gorgeous stained glass windows, it's truly breathtaking! I definitely recommend visiting the free museum inside. The exhibits are carefully and well designed to teach important parts of Lousiana State History. They have some incredible pieces on display on loan from L.S.U. A great way to spend a few hours.
What a beautifully restored building. What a shame they built a new one. So much interesting history on display here. To be able to walk into the house and senate chambers lets you imagine being there. Big display about Huey Long was VERY interesting. Everything is so gorgeous.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
The historic Old State Capitol has so much history. You can take a self guided tour and look at every room and feel the history pouring into each wall. It is the most amazing building! Visit the gift.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree
