Exploring Baton Rouge Louisiana (Mississippi Road Trip, Part 3)

On Dec 20, 2022

In today’s video, Free Tours by Foot New Orleans guides Robi and Andrew and cameraman James visit Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s state capital. MORE VIDEOS IN THIS SERIES https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8d4WXmLOq8&list=PLpNEdLF6RWV2rh2PL1D1lcIOauEVDW3x

While it’s younger and less often visited than New Orleans, Baton Rouge is still full of history and things to do that many visitors to the state don’t know about.

We leave the highway for the more historic view of Highland Road on the way to the campus of Louisiana State University, where we see a stadium you can live in and what may be some of the oldest man-made structures in the world.

We also visit downtown Baton Rouge, where we see historic buildings, a US Navy pirate ship, and the tallest state capitol in the country – itself a monument to one of the strangest governors in US history. We finish in Baton Rouge’s version of the French Quarter, which is even the home to Baton Rouge’s own Mardi Gras.

This is the third installment of our 5-part NOLA to Natchez Road Trip series. Episodes release weekly on Tuesdays.
