"The Old State Capitol building is a striking Gothic-Revival castle that was built in 1847. It is noteworthy both from a historical and architectural perspective, and is worth a look, even if just from the outside. The castle was burned by the Union Army, and in 1882, it was repaired and served as the state capitol until 1932, when the new State Capitol building opened."

"The final sight to see during your visit to the Capitol Park is the Capitol Park Museum. After you’ve gotten yourself oriented to the layout of Baton Rouge from the top of the State Capitol Building, this is the place to come to learn about the history of Louisiana, from the Native Americans and early settlers, right through to Louis Armstrong and Huey Long. The museum really does cover a lot, and you could easily spend half a day or more in here seeing all their is to see."

Much of the history you’ll see at the museum is visual."
