Harvest Days Event!!

Touted as one of the "Top 10 Outdoor Museums in the World", by the British Museum, the Rural Life Museum, in Baton Rouge, LA will transport Frugal Family Travelers, like yours, back in time to life in 19th century Louisiana.   The museum is run by Louisiana State University and features both an indoor area called the "exhibition barn", featuring artifacts from 20th century rural life, as well as outdoor exhibits, featuring authentic pioneer cabins, churches, Acadian buildings, etc., all in a rural landscape.  Our Frugal Family Travelers LOVED exploring this vast property to explore all of the exhibits and trails.  They especially loved seeing the old cars and carriages in the indoor museum!


Admission is $9 (ages 12-61), $8 (ages 5-11, 62+), and free (under age 5).

Note:

Harvest Days are two special days at the museum Saturday, Oct. 1 and 2, 2016- 8:00 - 5:00 pm both days!
