Old Governor's Mansion

Constructed in 1930, the Old Governor’s Mansion was the residence of nine Governors of Louisiana, starting with Huey P. Long, until 1963. The mansion was built in the Georgian style, allegedly to give Governor Long a preview of life in the White House if he ever ran for president. Located just east of Louisiana’s Old State Capitol, the mansion now offers tours to visitors and schools and is a premiere venue for weddings and other events.

The Old Governor's Mansion is open for tours Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.

The mansion is located in downtown Baton Rouge, where the city was founded near the Mississippi River. Baton Rouge Metro Airport is just minutes away. Whether you are hosting a wedding, social event or fundraiser, the venue is within easy walking distance to places of worship, multiple hotels, and dozens of restaurants for festivities before and after your event.

Event Capacity: 300
