Get a taste of what life was like in Louisiana before the industrial revolution when you visit the Rural Life Museum and Windrush Gardens. The museum's credo is to commemorate and preserve history and educate future generations about not only the advances that have occurred up to this point, but the ones we will likely encounter in the future. Through various classes, field trips, and special exhibits, the museum offers several opportunities to dig deeper into various aspects of everything that came before.

Guide the family through a history-packed trip at the Magnolia Mound Plantation. This attraction is also filled with so much drama and adventure that the kids won't even realize that they are in the process of learning about Baton Rouge's rich history. The structure traces the cultural contribution of the French Creoles and how their language, history and even cooking has become a vital part of the flavor of Baton Rouge in more ways than one. Also, there is a historic museum store and parlor that feature educational items for sale like books, jewelry, and other unique gifts.

If discovering talent before everybody else does is your thing, then you should make a habit of regularly checking out what's happening at the Claude L. Shaver Theatre and Dramatic Arts Building.

The comfortably intimate entertainment venue holds 445 people, so make sure you get your tickets early for the next scheduled performance.
