Living In Baton Rouge, LA

For those born on the bayou, Baton Rouge encapsulates it all. For those visiting, it is still an amazing collection of sights, sounds, smells and tastes. The glitz and glamour of casinos and shows take their place alongside rustic, historic sites as the metro area was built upon the same soil where the Civil War was once fought. The Old Governor's Mansion is a telling and somewhat dramatic symbol of the war's ravaging effects on life in Baton Rouge both during wartime and recovery. Area mansions and plantations also underpin the drama of that period of American history.
