5 days in Baton Rouge Itinerary

Baton Rouge is the capital of the U.S. Venture out of the city with trips to Houmas House Plantation and Gardens (in Darrow), San Francisco Plantation (in Garyville) and Whitney Plantation (in Wallace). And it doesn't end there: brush up on your military savvy at USS Kidd, have fun and explore at Knock Knock Children's Museum, gain insight at Louisiana State University, and don't miss a visit to The Myrtles Plantation.
