Description

       A tour of the Old Governor's Mansion in Baton Rouge, LA for up to ten people, an overnight stay at the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center historic hotel (for two), and a keepsake replica of a Huey P. Long supporter's pin.
       The Old Governor's Mansion was built in 1929 by the "Kingfish," Huey P. Long. The Mansion served as Executive Residence from 1930 until 1963 and housed nine of Louisiana's governors including Earl K. Long and the "singing governor," Jimmie Davis. This elegant and historic house museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and serves as the headquarters for the Foundation for Historical Louisiana (FHL).
     The Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center hotel blends both history and elegance. The historic Heidelberg and Capitol House Hotel have been fully restored to their former state of grandeur with over $70 million in renovations. The Hilton hotel was a significant part of Louisiana's colorful political history. From Huey P. Long to John F. Kennedy, the hotel was home to American Presidents, glamorous celebrities and generations of weddings, conventions, and loyal business travelers.
