Baton Rouge preserves its history through several sites that showcase Louisiana's development. The State Capitol building, an art deco structure from 1932, towers over downtown at 140 meters high and offers a view of the Mississippi River and its surroundings from its observation deck. Nearby, the Former Governor's Residence from 1850 exemplifies Southern colonial architecture with its white columns, while the Magnolia Mound Plantation, established in 1791, reconstructs the life of French cotton planters. The city’s museums document different aspects of regional history. The LSU Rural Life Museum houses artifacts and documents on Louisiana's farming techniques from the 18th to the 20th century. The USS Kidd, a World War II destroyer moored on the Mississippi, exhibits collections on American naval history. Louisiana State University's campus features the LSU Tiger Stadium, built in 1924 and capable of holding over 100,000 spectators. The city also has natural areas such as the Bluebonnet Marsh Nature Center with its 43 hectares of marsh accessible via trails, as well as a zoo with 800 animals across 200 species.
