St Luke's Episcopal Day School

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.
