Tour of Louisiana State Capitol Building + Huey P. Long Assassination!
Today we tour the Louisiana State Capitol building, where the infamous Huey P. Long assassination took place in 1935. You can still see the bullet holes in the wall and everything! We also take the elevator to the 27th floor observation deck to take an aerial look at Baton Rouge. This building is one of a kind, and showcases a very art deco architectural style that hasn't changed much in 90+ years!

The SCANDAL behind Louisiana's State Capitol Building
Did you know that Louisiana’s State Capitol Building is still the tallest state capitol in the United States. It’s nearly 90 years-old and its designer ended up in prison. In his history series ‘George Sells Louisiana,’ George went to find the inside story on this 450 foot wonder.

Completed in 1931, the capitol building stands at 450 feet tall and 34 stories, making it the tallest skyscraper in Baton Rouge and the tallest capitol in the United States.
New Orleans had been the Capital of Louisiana for a while, but there was a feeling amongst the representatives in states across the country at the time. They feared having their state’s largest city possessing a concentration of power by making it the capital.
There was a clause included in the Louisiana State Constitution of 1845 that required the state capital to be moved from New Orleans by 1849. Baton Rouge was chosen as the new Capitol and a castle was constructed as the government headquarters.
By the 1920s, the Old State Capitol was starting to show its age and proving to be too small for the expanding state government. In 1928, Huey Long was elected Governor of Louisiana as a populist candidate. He seized upon the idea of using a new capitol as a way to symbolize the end of the "political domination of Louisiana's traditional social and economic elite" in the state. None of that ended, but anyway. In January 1930, Long secured funds from the Board of Liquidation, enabling him to hire architects to design the new capitol and approached Leon C. Weiss with the proposal.
By using funds that he controlled to start the design work, Long prevented the State Legislature from stopping the construction of the capitol. The designs for the capitol consisted of a modern skyscraper, and was slated to be constructed on the grounds of the old LSU campus. Work on the building progressed rapidly due to the insistence by Long that it be completed under his governorship.
Huey Long, who had been elected to the United States Senate in 1930, delayed taking the oath of office until January 1932 to prevent a political adversary, Paul N. Cyr, from becoming governor. Despite being completed in little over a year, the State Capitol was not dedicated until May 16, 1932, during the inauguration of Governor Oscar K. Allen.
In a sort of sad irony, on September 8, 1935, Huey Long was assassinated in his State Capitol Building by Dr. Carl Weiss. His alleged motivation for the attack was that his father-in-law, Judge Benjamin Pavy, was going to be gerrymandered out of office by Long.
His body lay at the State Capitol, but was later interred on the grounds in front of the Capitol. Stray bullets that were fired by Weiss and are still present directly outside of the governor's office.
On April 26, 1970, a bomb consisting of twenty to 30 sticks of dynamite was detonated in the Senate Chamber. The bomb was an apparent retaliation for the shootings of three African Americans by the police. A pencil remains embedded in the ceiling of the chamber from the force of the explosion.
The Capitol's facade includes much of Louisiana's symbols and our history. A frieze runs along the top of the tower's base, at the fifth floor, depicting the actions of Louisianans in wartime and peace, from colonization to World War I. Outside of the House and Senate chambers are 22 square portraits of important people in Louisiana history, designed by several Louisiana sculptors.
To reach the Capitol's front door, you must ascend a "monumental stairway" consisting of 49, granite steps. Each step has engraved the name of a U.S. state in the order of its statehood;
Alaska and Hawaii, which were admitted after the completion of the Capitol, are both on the last step along with the phrase "E pluribus unum".
The Louisiana State Capitol was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 9, 1972, and was designated a National Historic Landmark on December 12, 1982. Come take a tour of the building on your next trip to Baton Rouge.

At 450 feet (137 m) tall and with 34 stories, it is the tallest skyscraper in Baton Rouge, the seventh tallest building in Louisiana, and tallest capitol in the United States. It is located on a 27-acre (110,000 m2) tract, which includes the capitol gardens. The Louisiana State Capitol is often thought of as "Huey Long's monument" due to the influence of the former Governor and U.S. Senator in getting the capitol built.The building's construction was completed in 1931. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982.
Louisiana’s Old State Capitol
The Old Louisiana State Capitol, also known as the State House, is a historic government building, and now a museum, at 100 North Boulevard in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, U.S.A. It housed the Louisiana State Legislature from the mid-19th century until the current capitol tower building was constructed from 1929-32.
It was built to both look like and function like a castle and has led some locals to call it the Louisiana Castle, the Castle of Baton Rouge, the Castle on the River, or the Museum of Political History; although most people just call it the old capitol building. The term "Old State Capitol" in Louisiana is used to refer to the building and not to the two towns that were formerly the capital city: New Orleans and Donaldsonville.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1973, and was designated a National Historic Landmark on May 30, 1974

Louisiana - The US Explained
Among the swamps and bayous, marshes and forests, that sit at the mouth of one of the largest river systems on earth, sits a state unlike any other. It’s a cultural melting pot, sitting in the Deep South, home to one of the largest Black populations in the country, and more culturally connected to and shaped by France than any other state in the US. Its culture, history, geography, and society is vastly different from anywhere else in the country, and a world away from even its neighbors, it occupies an outsized role in the American imagination.

Ten Commandments MUST be displayed in Louisiana schools
Starting Jan. 1, 2025, all public elementary, secondary and post-education schools in Louisiana must display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
Critics vowed to challenge the law in court, calling it unconstitutional and warning that it will lead to religious coercion of students.
“The First Amendment promises that we all get to decide for ourselves what religious beliefs, if any, to hold and practice, without pressure from the government,” the Louisiana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and other groups said in a joint statement Wednesday. “Politicians have no business imposing their preferred religious doctrine on students and families in public schools.”

Steps -
Soak dried beans overnight or use drained canned beans.
Chop onions, celery, bell peppers, and andouille sausage.
In a medium-high pan, cook the sausage for 4-5 minutes or until seared and browned.
Remove the seared sausage from the pan and sauté onions and garlic in the same pan until fragrant with butter. Add the bell peppers and celery, and cook until they soften.
Add flour and cook until the flour is gone. Season and mix until well combined. Reintroduce the andouille sausage and add chicken broth with bay leaves.
Bring the pan to a boil, then add the beans and, if desired, smoked turkey. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 hours and 10 minutes, or until the beans and turkey are tender and the liquid thickens into a rich sauce. If the mixture becomes too thick, add more water or broth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with parsley and green onions, and serve with rice for a complete meal!
Tip - For a creamier texture, mash some of the beans against the side of the pot using the back of a spoon.

Unboxing Louisiana: What It's Like Living In Louisiana
Does everyone in Louisiana drink all the time?
Does everybody have each other’s back?
And does EVERYONE in Louisiana have a laissez faire attitude?
We’ll go ...
Does everyone in Louisiana drink all the time?
Does everybody have each other’s back?
And does EVERYONE in Louisiana have a laissez faire attitude?
We’ll go over those tidbits, plus a whole lot more! So all yall grab a daiquiri and some crawdaddies, we’re going to unbox the state of Louisiana.
Aww. What’s going on here? Looks like they’re setting up crawfish traps. Yum. That means it must be spring time! Everyone in Louisiana loves springtime. The weather isn’t too muggy, there’s no hurricanes coming yet, and of course, it’s crawfish season.
They love their crawfish here. Just like they love nature and their culture.
But Louisiana is much more than swampy crawfish stew. It’s actually a REALLY super diverse state, with lots of tough folks and there’s some real issues, too. It’s kind of like a foreign country within the United States. In order to really get to know the state of Louisiana, we have to look at the whole state and explore each and every area.
This is Louisiana. Now as you can see there’s a lot of different regions in this state. In fact, this might be the most diverse state when it comes to region by region differences. First off, they don’t use counties here. They’re called parishes. And just about each parish has its own distinct culture, and way of life and even accent. If you moved here, you’d likely be a little overwhelmed with the differences from region to region.
We’re gonna begin up here in Northern Louisiana.

Among the swamps and bayous, marshes and forests, that sit at the mouth of one of the largest river systems on earth, sits a state unlike any other. It’s a cultural melting pot, sitting in the Deep South, home to one of the largest Black populations in the country, and more culturally connected to and shaped by France than any other state in the US. Its culture, history, geography, and society is vastly different from anywhere else in the country, and a world away from even its neighbors, it occupies an outsized role in the American imagination.

Starting Jan. 1, 2025, all public elementary, secondary and post-education schools in Louisiana must display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.
Critics vowed to challenge the law in court, calling it unconstitutional and warning that it will lead to religious coercion of students.
“The First Amendment promises that we all get to decide for ourselves what religious beliefs, if any, to hold and practice, without pressure from the government,” the Louisiana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and other groups said in a joint statement Wednesday. “Politicians have no business imposing their preferred religious doctrine on students and families in public schools.”
The law requires a context statement to accompany the commandments, positioning the text as “a prominent part of American public education” from the late 17th century through the late 20th century. Schools have to use donated posters or spend donated money, rather than public funds, to purchase the displays.
