10 days in Baton Rouge Itinerary

Baton Rouge is the capital of the U.S. state of Louisiana and its second-largest city. Step off the beaten path and head to USS Kidd and Mike the Tiger's Habitat. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Evergreen Plantation and St. Mary Basilica. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Baton Rouge: St. Joseph Plantation (in Vacherie), San Francisco Plantation (in Garyville) and Frogmore Plantation (in Ferriday). There's much more to do: get engrossed in the history at LSU Rural Life Museum, contemplate the long history of The Old Governor's Mansion, deepen your understanding at Louisiana State University, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Grace Church of West Feliciana Parish.
