Baton Rouge sits on the Mississippi River in southern Louisiana, and its name means red stick in French, after the red poles that once marked a Native American boundary. The Louisiana State Capitol, the tallest state capitol in the country, rises over downtown, and the Old State Capitol, a Gothic castle-like building, now houses a museum. Louisiana State University brings students and Tiger football to the city, and the USS Kidd, a World War II destroyer, sits as a museum on the river.
