Cajun Pride Swamp Excursion
Enjoy a narrated boat ride in the Manchac Swamp, a privately owned wildlife refuge. Relax in a comfortable, covered boat, with walking room and open viewing from any seat. Swamp creatures are unafraid and responsive to our captain’ s voice. In the safety and comfort of the boat, you will be able to get within a few feet of“ jumping gators.” Other animals to be on the lookout for include nutria, ibis, turtles, herons, raccoons, egrets, and more.
Battle for Baton Rouge
Led by an expert historian, explore locations that were critical to the Battle of Baton Rouge. Visit the historic Magnolia Cemetery and stand upon the very ground where the most intense fighting of the battle took place. Next, explore the Port Hudson State Historic Site, a Louisiana State Park that preserves and interprets a portion of the Port Hudson Battlefield, where the longest military siege in U. S. history took place. View a film about the battle and siege, admire original Civil War artifacts, and witness a live firing of an original Civil War cannon used at Port Hudson.
