Pride of Place: Stories of Old South Baton Rouge

Thu, June 18, 2009 - Mon, May 31, 2010

Free admission at the Louisiana State Museum - Baton Rouge to enjoy Pride of Place, the latest effort to expand community partnerships and exhibitions across the State Museum. It started as an idea of the McKinley High School Class of 1969. In planning for their fortieth reunion, they decided that rather than just reconnecting with their former classmates, Pride of Place would reconnect with the history of their community during the 1950s and 60s. From that idea came the new exhibition Pride of Place: Stories of Old South Baton Rouge, a yearlong, comprehensive celebration of a neighborhood and an era.
