The Louisiana State Archives and Louisiana’s Old State Capitol were featured on C-SPAN’s American History TV during a series shot in Baton Rouge in conjunction with the LCV Cities Tour. C-SPAN producers visited various literary and historic sites interviewing local historians, authors and civic leaders to compile the series which also aired on Book TV. The videos can be viewed by visiting http://www.c-span.org/LocalContent/BatonRouge
The museum will be closed from December 23rd - January 16th for cyclical maintenance. We will reopen on January 17th. Happy Holidays from the Old State Capitol staff.
The Old State Capitol is happy to announce the arrival of the new commemorative ornament that is available in the museum shop. This ornament is a perfect gift for bridesmaids, birthdays, as well as anniversaries.
The spirit of Sarah Morgan, the young woman who chronicled Civil War Baton Rouge in her diary, stars in a 12-minute movie, "The Ghost of the Castle", which opened last week at the Old State Capitol
