Battle of Baton Rouge
Led by an expert historian , explore locations that were critical to the Battle of Baton Rouge and hear about the history surrounding Vicksburg in the Civil War . Visit the historic Magnolia Cemetery and stand upon the very ground where the most intense fighting of the battle took place . Baton Rouge was the most fought over land in Louisiana ’ s history and this experience will cover not only the Civil War , but the American Revolution and the Florida Rebellion . Although the landscape of Baton Rouge isn ’ t the same as it was in the 1780s , or 1810s , its history will be brought to life by your guide . Visit the Magnolia Mound Plantation , a Baton Rouge city park . Magnolia Mound , unlike other antebellum house museums along the Lower Mississippi , is not your grand mansion . Rather , it ’ s a simple structure built during Louisiana ’ s colonial history , and around the time of its Statehood into the Union .
